London’s Metropolitan Police said it will “review” allegations that Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell abused women and girls in the U.K., but defended its earlier refusal to conduct a full criminal investigation into the late sex offender’s sex trafficking. The announcement follows a report by London’s Channel 4 News that uncovered more than half a dozen additional claims in Britain against the American financier and his British confidante. One of the alleged victims and her legal team spoke with Metropolitan Police officers in 2016 and urged them to investigate, according to Channel 4, but police failed to do so. “Serious questions have been raised about why the force failed to carry out a full criminal investigation, including whether Prince Andrew’s involvement with Maxwell and Epstein had any bearing on their decision not to fully investigate,” the news outlet wrote.More Related News
