Epstein’s UK flights had alleged British abuse victims on board, BBC finds
British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) investigations have revealed that flights linked to the late American financier Jeffrey Epstein included underage girls who were allegedly trafficked for sexual abuse. The findings indicate that several British victims were taken on Epstein’s private jets to his residences in the United States and other locations.
Epstein, who faced charges of sex trafficking and conspiracy before his death in 2019, had a private jet known as the “Lolita Express,” which he used to transport himself and others. The BBC investigation uncovered flight logs showing underage girls were among the passengers on the aircraft, which flew between various countries, including the UK.
Victims’ rights groups have expressed outrage at the revelations, demanding further investigations into the extent of the abuse and the possible involvement of other individuals in Epstein’s trafficking network. They stress the importance of seeking justice for the victims and holding accountable those who may have enabled or participated in such heinous crimes.
Epstein’s associates have denied any wrongdoing, with some suggesting that the allegations are part of a smear campaign to tarnish their reputations. However, calls for transparency and accountability continue to grow, fueled by the gravity of the accusations and the need to ensure that such abuses are not allowed to persist unchecked.
The BBC’s findings have sparked renewed interest in the case, shedding light on the complex web of individuals and organizations that may have played a role in facilitating Epstein’s criminal activities. As investigations continue, the focus remains on uncovering the truth, delivering justice for the victims, and preventing similar atrocities from happening in the future.
