A review has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Pattern of Movement

These aviation records were part of thousands of legal papers and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the previous twelve months. The review found 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel

Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers travelling into and out of the UK. Notably, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.

“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his activities in the country,” said US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.

British Victims and Legal Proceedings

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

In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police stated they had “not received any new information that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”

Ongoing Document Release and Judicial Decisions

A bill to make public every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are projected to be released.

Additionally, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
