An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel

The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unnamed “females” were listed among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

A bill to disclose all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.

In a related development, a US judge ordered last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
