Approximately Ninety Air Travels Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from UK Airfields
A review has identified that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The investigation identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified “females” were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
British Victims and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
