Analysis has uncovered that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from British airfields, with some allegedly transporting British women who assert they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel

The travel manifests were among thousands of legal papers and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation 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 Post-Conviction Flights

Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the travelers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his operations in the country,” said American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.

UK Survivors and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

Proposed legislation to release all files held by the American government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are expected to be released.

Separately, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
