Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airfields
An investigation has found that approximately 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly transporting British women who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Trail of Movement
The travel manifests were part of thousands of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The investigation found 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed female passengers were listed among the travelers travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They added, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are anticipated to be made public.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
