Jeffrey Epstein linked to multiple UK flights carrying women alleging abuse, BBC reveals | BBC News
Almost 90 flights linked to Jeffrey Epstein arrived at and departed from UK airports, some with British women on board who say they were abused by the billionaire, a BBC investigation has revealed.
Three British women who say they were trafficked appear in Epstein’s records of flights in and out of the UK and other documents related to the convicted sex offender.
US lawyers representing hundreds of Epstein victims said it was “shocking” that there has never been a major UK investigation into his activities there. One suggested the UK was a “centrepiece” of Epstein’s operations.
Testimony from one of the three British victims helped convict Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell of child sex-trafficking in the United States in 2021. However the victim has never been contacted by UK police, according to her lawyer. The woman, given the name Kate in the trial, was listed as having been on more than 10 flights paid for by Epstein in and out of the UK between 1999 and 2006.
US lawyer Sigrid McCawley said the British authorities have “not taken a closer look at those flights, at where he was at, who he was seeing at those moments, and who was with him on those planes”.
The flight logs are among thousands of documents from court cases and Epstein’s estate which have been made public over the past year. Fifteen of the UK flights took place after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor, which should have alerted British authorities.
Epstein died in jail in 2019, before his trial on charges of trafficking minors for sex. Legal experts have told the BBC a UK investigation could reveal whether people based in Britain helped enable his crimes.

A row has broken out after Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn claimed his party had obtained documents that show the NHS has formed part of talks with the United States about a trade agreement after Brexit. Mr Corbyn says the papers are ‘proof’ that the Conservatives would put the NHS at risk. But Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the claims were ‘nonsense’ — and the NHS would not be part of any trade talks.
Meanwhile in Scotland, First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has launched the Scottish National Party’s manifesto. The SNP leader said the party promises to ‘escape Brexit and put Scotland’s future in Scotland’s hands’.

The inquiry into how serial killer Lucy Letby was able to murder babies at the Countess of Chester hospital in England has delivered its findings, describing a “complete failure” to protect infants from harm.
After hearing from more than 130 witnesses, and considering 400 statements over six months, the Thirlwall Inquiry report was published earlier at Liverpool Town Hall.
It was launched in September 2024, after Letby was convicted of murdering seven babies and attempting to murder seven others – one of whom she attempted to kill twice.
