A review has identified that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting women from the UK who allege they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.

Aviation Records Uncover Pattern of Travel

The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The investigation identified 87 flights tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Flights

Unidentified “females” were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a underage person.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings

A bill to release every document held by the American government in relation to 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 files are projected to be released.

Separately, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ 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.
