Jeffrey Epstein secretly financed accommodations for young women at a high-end London apartment right up until his death in 2019, according to recently disclosed records. The convicted paedophile financier, who allegedly transported more than 180 women on his private aircraft fleet—including one infamously dubbed the Lolita Express—maintained active connections to the United Kingdom through various associates and properties.
London Property and School Links
Among the three million pages of documents and images released by the US Department of Justice, evidence indicates that teenage girls were among those trafficked globally. Epstein's UK ties included relationships with the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson, and Labour figure Peter Mandelson, with reports suggesting he even visited Buckingham Palace.
Documents forwarded to the FBI by the National Crime Agency, its UK counterpart, reveal Epstein retained a significant interest in the UK at the time of his death. This included a multimillion-pound property in west London's Chelsea area. Recent file publications detail how Epstein discussed this property with an unnamed woman just five days before his arrest in July 2019.
Communications and Financial Support
The woman expressed gratitude, writing: 'Thank you so much for London apt!!!' and added: 'Oh wow!!! It's in Chelsea!!!! Wow!!!! Looks lovely on Google map. So, she doesn't need it anymore?' Epstein responded by inquiring: 'Is it far from school?'
Further records suggest Epstein may have covered costs for women to enroll at the Frances King School of English, located less than half a mile from the Manson Place flat. In April 2019, an unidentified individual requested Epstein to 'pay for the school,' subsequently sending a payment link referencing 'Frances King' via a third party, as reported by The Sunday Times.
Around the same period, Epstein allegedly informed a London-based woman that he was willing to fund another female's travel to the capital, with discussions hinting at visa procurement efforts.
Flight Records and UK Investigations
A separate analysis of flight data spanning two decades shows unidentified women being flown between destinations including the UK, Paris, Morocco, the United States, and the US Virgin Islands. Passengers arriving in the UK included socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, imprisoned for facilitating Epstein's crimes, and Virginia Giuffre, who accused Prince Andrew of sexual misconduct in 2001—claims he has consistently denied.
Epstein died in prison in 2019 after being found hanged in his cell while awaiting trial for child-trafficking offences. Currently, ten British police forces are examining the Epstein files for any potential wrongdoing allegations, underscoring the ongoing scrutiny into his international activities and connections.
