The Jeffrey Epstein case refuses to fade. Although the convicted sex offender allegedly took his own life in 2019, seven years later new details continue to surface. The Times reported Thursday that Epstein arranged flights for young women from Britain or via Britain until a month before his arrest, according to documents in the Epstein files.
The Times reviewed booking records, fuel receipts and flight logs, finding that Epstein flew to and from Britain more than 60 times.

Police are now investigating whether Epstein’s victims were transported on his private jet to commercial airports in Britain as well as to Royal Air Force Northolt, a base that plays a central role in the country’s defense. Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister, has asked military authorities and the Metropolitan Police to examine whether Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor used the RAF base to carry out flights linked to Epstein.
The documents also show that Epstein’s associates arranged flights from Heathrow Airport to New York for a Russian woman whose name was redacted from the records a month before his arrest. The flight departed June 1, 2019, with the return flight eight days later. After The Telegraph asked Epstein’s representatives whether Andrew had helped arrange the landing, Epstein contacted his pilot, Larry Visoski, and then emailed his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, writing: “I spoke with Larry, it is true.”
Andrew stepped down as Britain’s trade envoy on July 21, 2011. At the time, Epstein blamed Andrew’s older brother, Charles, for his removal. “I assume Andrew knows this was Charles’ doing,” Epstein wrote in an email responding to a message from an associate that said: “Lots of TV coverage about PA and a big story about you. Crazy.” It is believed that “PA” was a code name for Andrew.
While serving as Britain’s trade envoy, Andrew had access to senior government officials and business leaders around the world.
