Surrey Police says it is examining two allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse following the release in the United States of documents connected to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The force said the allegations relate to two separate time periods and locations, with one concerning incidents said to have occurred in Surrey and Berkshire between the mid-1990s and 2000. The second allegation relates to events in west Surrey during the mid to late 1980s.

Police confirmed that no arrests have been made.

Two historical allegations examined

In a statement, Surrey Police said it was reviewing the claims and would pursue appropriate investigative steps where necessary.

“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,” the force said.

Earlier this year, in February, Surrey Police issued an appeal for information regarding an allegation of human trafficking and sexual assault dating back to the mid-1990s. At that time, officers said they had found no evidence that the Surrey-related allegations had previously been reported to the force.

Release of Epstein documents

The investigation comes after the United States Department of Justice released more than 3.5 million pages of documents connected to Epstein.

Epstein died in a New York prison cell on 10 August 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex-trafficking charges. His death came more than a decade after he had been convicted of soliciting prostitution from a minor and was subsequently registered as a sex offender.

In the later case, prosecutors alleged that he operated a large network that trafficked underage girls for sex. Epstein denied the accusations and pleaded not guilty before his death.

Authorities have stressed that appearing in the newly released documents does not in itself imply wrongdoing. Several individuals named in earlier disclosures have publicly denied any involvement in criminal activity linked to Epstein.

UK police reviewing potential cases

Following the publication of the files, the National Police Chiefs' Council has established a national coordination group working with the National Crime Agency to assist UK forces examining potential allegations connected to the material.

Several police services across the UK have said they are reviewing whether investigations are warranted.

Norfolk Constabulary and Police Scotland are among those that have assessed information connected to the documents. Police Scotland has since stated there is no active investigation relating to Epstein’s private jet reportedly using Edinburgh Airport.

The inquiry announced by Surrey Police follows separate investigations by Thames Valley Police and the Metropolitan Police.

Those investigations have led to the arrests of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson on suspicion of misconduct in public office following claims connected to the Epstein files.

According to the BBC, Lord Mandelson’s position is that he has not committed any criminal offence and that he was not motivated by financial gain.

Mountbatten-Windsor, formerly known as Prince Andrew and who served as a UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011, has not commented on his reported arrest but has previously denied wrongdoing in relation to his association with Epstein.

Ongoing inquiries

Surrey Police said its investigation remains ongoing as officers assess the allegations and determine whether further evidence can be established.

Authorities have not indicated whether additional suspects have been identified.

They should focus on more recent cases like the Pakistani rape gangs.

Oh sorry I forgot Starmer is trying to bury that.

I believe an enquiry is in progress. Trying to make political capital by using sexual abuse cases (on both sides) is very low.

Hopefully the UK Police can do an investigation, and release the results,

Europe is where people in the Trump Epstein files ,have be held to some

kind of account ,yes not enough, while in U S A no one has been held to

account , it's all a cover up over there.

What's low is trying to block the enquiry.

And calling out people who object to the blocking of the enquiry.

That's what I call low. Very low.

Agreed. But who has tried to block the current enquiry? We know who's trying to block the Epstein files!

Massie has 7 months left to try and uncover the cover-up.

Today is the six-month anniversary of the Epstein Transparency Act. We’ve taken out two dozen CEOs, an ambassador, a prince, a prime minister, a minister of culture—that was just six months. I’ve got seven months left in Congress.

The thing is the "evidence" is a pile of emails. The UK authorities have access to the same Emails. So do the French. So do others.

"JonnyF" is trying to deflect the conversation, presumably, becsause like another poster on the forum, he's on some sort of mission to personally defend the honour of some individuals on the Western side of the Atlantic Ocean. Plus it ties in with his waking hour obsessions.
