Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left British airports, with some reportedly having onboard British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Movement

The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unnamed female passengers were documented among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.

“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Testimony from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a statement, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not received any further information that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to disclose all files held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be made public.

In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
