Analysis has identified that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly landed at and took off from British airports, with some reportedly carrying British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel

The flight logs were among thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the last year. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed women were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.

“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

A statement from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. Yet, that individual has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of papers are anticipated to be released.

In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
