Nearly Ninety Flights Associated to Jeffrey Epstein Reportedly Came to or from British Airports
A review has found that close to 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein reportedly arrived at and departed from British airports, with some allegedly carrying women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the found guilty child sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Trail of Travel
The flight logs were part of thousands of court documents and papers released by Epstein’s estate that have been disclosed over the last year. The analysis uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – featuring many that were previously unknown – arriving or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018.
Passenger Details and After Guilty Verdict Travel
Unnamed women were listed among the travelers flying to and from the UK. Significantly, 15 of these flights involving the UK occurred subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for soliciting sex from a child.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his dealings in the country,” stated US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims.
UK Survivors and Court Cases
A statement from one of the British victims was instrumental in convicting Epstein’s accomplice socialite Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that victim has never been contacted by police in the UK, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not received any new evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They added, “Should fresh and pertinent information be brought to our attention, including any arising from the release of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Legal Rulings
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein was approved by the House and Senate last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be released.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the department could publicly release evidence from a trafficking prosecution against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence over the allegations.
