Analysis has identified that close to 90 flights associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.

Aviation Records Uncover Trail of Movement

The travel manifests were part of a trove of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The review uncovered 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights

Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights happened after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

Evidence from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a statement, the the Met said they had “not been provided with any additional evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, encompassing any arising from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”

Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are expected to be made public.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the DOJ could disclose case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
