An investigation has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard British women who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed female passengers were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to disclose every document held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
Separately, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
