Following the release of the Epstein files, Essex Police is assessing information regarding private flights into and out of Stansted Airport. This action comes after calls for a re-examination of potential trafficking of victims within the UK, with Stansted identified as a location where women may have been transferred between Epstein's planes. A BBC investigation previously revealed 87 flights linked to Epstein arriving at or departing from UK airports between the early 1990s and 2018. A national group has been established to support UK police forces assessing allegations related to the Epstein case. Thames Valley Police is also assessing allegations involving a second woman and Prince Andrew, who denies any wrongdoing.
