Analysis has identified that nearly 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who assert they were abused by the found guilty sex offender.

Aviation Records Show Trail of Movement

These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review identified 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified women were listed among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate 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 response, the the Met stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing 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 concerning 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 anticipated to be made public.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
