Nearly 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airports
An investigation has uncovered that approximately 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the last year. The investigation found 87 flights connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that survivor has not received any contact by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any additional information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are expected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ruled last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
