A review has uncovered that close to 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly transporting British women who allege they were victimized by the convicted sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel

These aviation records were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review found 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – featuring many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified women were listed among the individuals flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any further information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They added, “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 Judicial Decisions

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 follow through. A vast number of papers are expected to be released.

Separately, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could disclose evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
