An investigation has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys linked to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some reportedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.

The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and files made public by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements tied to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel

Unidentified female passengers were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a underage person.

“This is ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his dealings in the country,” said US lawyers acting for numerous Epstein survivors.

UK Survivors and Court Cases

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that individual has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any new evidence that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If new and relevant evidence be presented to us, including any resulting from the release of documents in the US, we will review it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

Proposed legislation to release all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are anticipated to be made public.

Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department 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 allegations.
