An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Travel

The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The review identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel

Unidentified women were listed among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights occurred following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any new information that would support restarting the probe.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings

A bill to make public all files held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.

Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
