A review has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement

These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unidentified women were documented among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.

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

British Victims and Court Cases

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any additional evidence that would support restarting the inquiry.” They commented, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings

A bill to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of files are anticipated to be made public.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
