UK examining Epstein's use of airport for trafficking

LONDON, Feb 18 (Reuters) - British police are assessing whether Jeffrey Epstein trafficked women through a London airport on private flights, part of a now nationally coordinated effort to investigate the late sex offender's ties to Britain.
Essex Police said on Wednesday they were looking at information that had emerged about private flights into and out of Stansted Airport, to the northeast of London, following the publication by the U.S. government of millions of documents on Epstein at the end of January.
Its assessment, which does not constitute a full investigation, comes after British police set up a national coordination group to support individual forces examining Epstein's ties to Britain or British people.
