Analysis has uncovered that approximately 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein allegedly arrived at and departed from UK airfields, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who assert they were victimized by the convicted child sex offender.

Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel

The flight logs were among thousands of legal papers and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The investigation identified 87 flights linked to Epstein – including many that were hitherto undisclosed – arriving or departing from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Passenger Details and Post-Conviction Travel

Unnamed women were listed among the individuals travelling into and out of the UK. Significantly, 15 of these British airport journeys occurred after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a child.

“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” said American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.

British Victims and Court Cases

Evidence from one of the UK-based survivors helped convict Epstein’s associate socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that individual has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.

In a response, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any additional evidence that would support reopening the inquiry.” They noted, “If fresh and pertinent evidence be presented to us, including any arising from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings

Proposed legislation to disclose all files held by the American government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to adhere to this requirement. A vast number of papers are expected to be made public.

Separately, a federal judge ordered last week that the department could make public evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
