Close to 90 Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
An investigation has found that nearly 90 aircraft journeys associated to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly carrying British women who allege they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Show Pattern of Travel
These aviation records were among thousands of court documents and papers made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the past year. The investigation found 87 flights tied to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – landing or taking off from British airfields between the early 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unidentified female passengers were documented among the passengers flying to and from the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place following Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a minor.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘full-scale UK investigation’ into his activities in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
A statement 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. Yet, that victim has never been contacted by British law enforcement, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant evidence be presented to us, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will assess it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to release every document held by the American government in regarding Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of documents are expected to be released.
In a related development, a federal judge decided last week that the DOJ could publicly release investigative materials from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
