Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys associated to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein allegedly touched down at and left British airports, with some allegedly carrying British women who allege they were victimized by the found guilty child sex offender.

Flight Logs Uncover Pattern of Movement

The flight logs were among a trove of legal papers and files released by Epstein’s estate that have been made public over the past year. The analysis found 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – including many that were not previously known – arriving or departing from British airfields between the start of the 1990s and 2018.

Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights

Unidentified women were documented among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these British airport journeys happened following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.

“It was ‘appalling’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” remarked US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.

UK Survivors and Court Cases

A statement from one of the UK-based survivors was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by police in the UK, according to her Florida-based lawyer.

In a statement, the Metropolitan police said they had “not received any further information that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the release of material in the US, we will assess it.”

Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions

Proposed legislation to make public every document held by the US government in regarding 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 anticipated to be made public.

Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the DOJ could make public case files from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
