Analysis has found that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.

Aviation Records Show Pattern of Travel

The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed women were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are projected to be released.

In a related development, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
