Approximately 90 Flights Linked to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from UK Airfields
A review has identified that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Uncover Trail of Movement
These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The analysis uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed “females” were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein victims.
British Victims and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the the Met indicated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing 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 adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.
Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could disclose investigative materials from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
