Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Landed at or Took Off from UK Airfields
Analysis has uncovered that nearly 90 flights associated to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Aviation Records Show Pattern of Movement
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the past year. The investigation found 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unnamed women were documented among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
British Victims and Court Cases
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 victim has not been approached by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the probe.” They noted, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Document Release and Legal Rulings
A bill to release every document held by the US government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to follow through. A vast number of files are anticipated to be released.
Additionally, a US judge ordered last week that the DOJ could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
