Surrey Police announced on May 19, 2026, they are investigating two separate allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse linked to the Jeffrey Epstein files [1, 2]. The probe concerns incidents dating from the mid-1980s to 2000 in locations across Surrey and Berkshire, including near the Windsor estate [1, 2].
One of the allegations involves sexual assaults and human trafficking of a minor in Virginia Water, Surrey, between 1994 and 1996 [1, 2]. Surrey Police said, "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" [1]. The investigation is being led by child abuse specialists within Surrey Police's public protection team [1].
In December 2025, the US Department of Justice released files related to Epstein that prompted Surrey Police to review the material and launch an appeal for witnesses in February 2026 [1, 2]. Despite the ongoing probe, no arrests have been made and no suspects have been interviewed as of May 19, 2026 [1, 2].
In a related development, Prince Andrew was stripped of his royal titles in 2025 after allegations emerged that one of Epstein's victims had been trafficked to have sex with him [2].
Surrey Police continue to gather evidence and have not yet disclosed a timeline for next steps or potential charges [1, 2].
