Fresh Epstein-linked abuse claims trigger new UK police investigations

Surrey Police are investigating two new, separate allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse following the release of the Epstein files this winter.

The force said 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 so far in relation to the new lines of inquiry.

The new investigation comes after unverified allegations that a child was taken to ‘paedophile ring parties’ in the UK were being examined by police in December.

They later confirmed that there was ‘no evidence’ of those Surrey-related allegations being reported to Surrey Police at the time.

The unnamed person told the FBI that one incident took place in the mid-1990s at Frogmore Cottage on the royal estate in Windsor.

The report is among more than 11,000 documents which were released by the US Department of Justice (DoJ) on Monday

In the statement received by the FBI in 2020, the then 35-year-old complainant made unverified claims to have been ‘drugged at night and driven by my father’ to ‘paedophile ring parties’ in Surrey.

They describe being restrained on a table and ‘tortured with electric shocks’ in one incident when they were aged between six and eight.

Earlier this year, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested and later released by Surrey Police on suspicion of sharing confidential information with the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a trade envoy.

Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, younger brother of Britain’s King Charles, formerly known as Prince Andrew, leaves Aylsham Police Station in a vehicle.

The former Duke of York has always denied any accusations of wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

There had been reports that Epstein allegedly sent a second woman to have a sexual encounter with the former prince at the Royal Lodge in 2010, when the unnamed woman, who was not British, was in her 20s.

The former prince moved out of Windsor’s Royal Lodge at the beginning of February.

Thousands of files related to the disgraced paedophile have been released in recent months by the Department of Justice.

Many court documents – including flight logs for Epstein’s private jet – have already been made public, but many more remain sealed, raising speculation over who else could be implicated.

When Trump returned to the White House, he released some of Epstein’s files and promised more would follow, saying he had ‘no problem’ making the documents public.

The FBI said it was reviewing ‘tens of thousands’ of documents relating to Epstein, and these are being redacted to protect the identity of victims and any other ongoing investigations.
