Surrey Police have launched investigations into two separate allegations of historic child sexual abuse, following the release of files related to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein by the US Department of Justice.
Allegations Details
One report details incidents that allegedly took place in Surrey and Berkshire between the mid-1990s and 2000. The second allegation concerns events in West Surrey during the mid to late 1980s. Both cases involve claims of child sexual abuse that occurred years ago.
Current Status of Investigations
As of now, no arrests have been made in connection with either of these ongoing investigations. Surrey Police have confirmed that they are actively pursuing leads and gathering evidence, but have not disclosed further details to protect the integrity of the inquiries.
The investigations were prompted by the release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein, which have sparked renewed interest in historical abuse cases. Epstein, a convicted sex offender, died in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.
Surrey Police urge anyone with information related to these allegations to come forward and assist with the investigations. The force has assured the public that they are committed to thoroughly examining all reports of historic abuse.
