Close to Ninety Air Travels Associated to Epstein Allegedly Arrived at or Departed from British Airfields
Analysis has found that close to 90 aircraft journeys connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have landed at and took off from UK airfields, with some allegedly having onboard women from the UK who claim they were exploited by the convicted sex offender.
Flight Logs Reveal Pattern of Travel
The flight logs were among a trove of court documents and files made public by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been made public over the last year. The review identified 87 aircraft movements linked to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – landing or taking off from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Onboard Individuals and Post-Conviction Flights
Unidentified women were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Notably, 15 of these British airport journeys took place subsequent to Epstein’s 2008 conviction for procuring prostitution from a underage person.
“It was ‘astonishing’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his activities in the country,” stated American attorneys representing hundreds of Epstein survivors.
UK Survivors and Legal Proceedings
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of sex trafficking of minors in the US in 2021. But, that survivor has not been approached by UK authorities, as stated by her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the London's Metropolitan Police said they had “not received any additional information that would support restarting the investigation.” They commented, “Should fresh and pertinent evidence be brought to our attention, encompassing any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
Ongoing Disclosure and Judicial Decisions
Proposed legislation to disclose every document held by the US government in relation to Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The US justice department has until 19 December to comply. Hundreds of thousands of papers are anticipated to be made public.
In a related development, a US judge decided last week that the department could disclose case files from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s close friend, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
