Surrey Police are currently investigating two distinct allegations of historical child sexual abuse connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s files. The incidents are reported to have taken place in Surrey and Berkshire between the late 1980s and the year 2000. The police are interviewing the alleged victims, but no arrests have been made so far.
These investigations follow the release of Epstein-related documents by the US Department of Justice, which have highlighted allegations of wider abuse and trafficking networks operating in the UK.
Two Separate Allegations
One allegation involves locations across Surrey and Berkshire during the mid-1990s up to around 2000. The second allegation dates back to the mid to late 1980s in West Surrey. Surrey Police have confirmed they are treating both cases with the utmost seriousness and are actively seeking corroborating evidence to advance their inquiries.
FBI Files Reveal Dark Claims
An unredacted FBI report from July 2020, part of the Epstein files, contains disturbing claims from a woman who alleged she was drugged and taken to ‘paedophile ring parties’ in Virginia Water during the mid-1990s. She also claimed that a vehicle driven by Prince Andrew caused her injuries and made further allegations involving Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Ghislaine Maxwell. Surrey Police have stated that no evidence of these specific allegations had previously been reported to them.
Police Appeal For Information
Surrey Police have urged anyone with information about human trafficking or sexual assault linked to Epstein’s network to come forward. The force emphasises that it is investigating all reports meticulously and is working to establish reasonable lines of enquiry to verify facts thoroughly.
Broader UK Investigations
Surrey is the third UK police force investigating Epstein-related allegations since the Department of Justice’s release of millions of documents. Thames Valley Police are probing claims that Prince Andrew passed confidential information to Epstein and are investigating trafficking claims involving the Duke. Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police are examining Lord Mandelson for alleged misconduct linked to confidential information exchanges with Epstein.
Surrey Police are also reportedly examining the use of airports and RAF bases in sex trafficking, prompted by concerns raised by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown.
Official Police Statement
Following the release of files relating to Jeffrey Epstein by the US Department of Justice, we are investigating two separate allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse. One report relates to locations in Surrey and Berkshire in the mid-1990s to 2000. The other relates to the mid to late 1980s in West Surrey. No arrests have been made. We take all reports of sexual offending seriously and will work to identify any reasonable lines of enquiry to verify information or establish corroborating evidence. There is no further information at this time.
