British authorities are currently assessing the potential use of Stansted Airport by Jeffrey Epstein to traffic women on private flights. This is part of a larger, nationally coordinated investigation into Epstein's connections with the UK.

Essex Police revealed on Wednesday that they are examining new data about private flights in and out of the London-area airport. This follows the U.S. government's release of extensive documentation on Epstein earlier this year. Although this is still an assessment and not a full investigation, law enforcement has established a national coordination group for finer inspection of Epstein's links to Britain.

The release of these documents has sparked significant controversy in the UK, prompting investigations into high-profile individuals such as Peter Mandelson and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Both individuals are implicated alongside Epstein in confidential document mishandling. Both deny any wrongdoing but have not officially commented since the latest document disclosures.
