Analysis has found that nearly 90 flights linked to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.

Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Travel

The travel manifests were among a trove of legal papers and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The analysis identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” remarked US lawyers acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings

Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has not received any contact by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

A bill to release every document held by the American government in concerning Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.

Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the allegations.
