Surrey police launch investigation into UK Epstein abuse allegations

Surrey police have launched a criminal investigation into two separate allegations of child sexual abuse in Britain dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, following the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein by the US Department of Justice. Two women have come forward, claiming to be victims of attacks detailed in these files, with allegations concerning locations in Surrey and Berkshire, including the Windsor estate. This marks the first British police criminal investigation into alleged sexual harm against females linked to Epstein. The force is reviewing evidence and has interviewed the alleged victims, though no suspects have been interviewed or arrested. This investigation is part of a broader coordinated effort by British police forces examining Epstein-related allegations.

UK police are investigating two allegations of child sex abuse dating back to the 1980s and 1990s, prompted by documents released from the U.S. Justice Department's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Surrey Police are examining incidents in Surrey and Berkshire from the mid-1990s to 2000, and in West Surrey from the mid- to late 1980s. No arrests have been made. Several UK police forces are assessing information from the Epstein files, with a national coordination group established to support these efforts. The investigations stem from over three million pages of documents that have been released.
