Nearly 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly landed at and took off from British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were part of a trove of court documents and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the past year. The analysis found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Travel
Unidentified “females” were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place following Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” stated US lawyers representing numerous Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Testimony from one of the British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not received any contact by UK authorities, according to her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the Metropolitan police stated they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Continuing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release all files 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. Hundreds of thousands of files are projected to be made public.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
