An investigation has found that nearly 90 flights connected to Jeffrey Epstein are said to have touched down at and left British airfields, with some reportedly having onboard British women who claim they were abused by the found guilty child sex offender.
The travel manifests were part of a trove of court documents and files released by the estate of Jeffrey Epstein that have been released over the previous twelve months. The investigation uncovered 87 aircraft movements connected to Epstein – encompassing many that were not previously known – coming into or leaving from UK airports between the start of the 1990s and 2018.
Unnamed female passengers were recorded among the individuals entering and exiting the UK. Crucially, 15 of these UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 guilty verdict for procuring prostitution from a child.
“This is ‘shocking’ that there had never been a ‘comprehensive British inquiry’ into his operations in the country,” remarked American attorneys acting for numerous Epstein victims.
Evidence from one of the British victims aided the conviction of Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the US in 2021. However, that survivor has never been contacted by British law enforcement, according to her attorney based in Florida.
In a response, the Metropolitan police indicated they had “not been provided with any further evidence that would support reopening the probe.” They noted, “If new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any resulting from the disclosure of documents in the US, we will evaluate it.”
A bill to make public every document held by the US government in concerning Epstein passed the US Congress last month. The Department of Justice has until 19 December to comply. A vast number of files are projected to be made public.
Additionally, a federal judge decided last week that the department could disclose evidence from a sex-trafficking case against Maxwell, Epstein’s longtime confidante, who is currently serving a 20-year jail term over the charges.
