Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel

The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been disclosed over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel

Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys representing numerous Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any additional evidence 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 assess it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of documents are projected to be made public.

In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
