A review has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement

These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified “females” were documented among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.

“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any new information that would support restarting the investigation.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

A bill to make public all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.

In a related development, a federal judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
