A review has identified that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Movement

The travel manifests were among thousands of court documents and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the previous twelve months. The review uncovered 87 flights connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified women were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.

“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys representing numerous Epstein victims.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has not been approached by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the the Met said they had “not received any further evidence that would support reopening the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be made public.

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