Nearly Ninety Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Allegedly Came to or from British Airfields
Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
These aviation records were part of a trove of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 flights linked to Epstein – featuring many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified women were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these flights involving the UK took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a underage person.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police indicated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the inquiry.” They noted, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
