Approximately 90 Air Travels Connected to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Landed at or Took Off from British Airports
An investigation has uncovered that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left UK airports, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were abused by the convicted child sex offender.
Aviation Records Reveal Trail of Travel
These aviation records were among a trove of court documents and papers made public by Epstein’s estate that have been released over the past year. The investigation found 87 flights connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were previously unknown – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Flights
Unnamed women were recorded among the passengers entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these flights involving the UK happened subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a child.
“It was ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘thorough probe in the UK’ into his operations in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
Testimony from one of the UK-based survivors aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. Yet, that victim has never been contacted by UK authorities, as stated by her Florida-based lawyer.
In a statement, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not been provided with any additional information that would support reopening the investigation.” They added, “Should new and relevant information be presented to us, including any resulting from the disclosure of material in the US, we will review it.”
Continuing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
Proposed legislation to make public all files held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to follow through. Hundreds of thousands of documents are expected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge ruled last week that the department could make public evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s long-term associate, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence over the charges.
