Senior policing source says ‘tsunami’ of claims expected after US release of papers relating to disgraced financier
British police have set up a new national group to deal with allegations that Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking of women had ties to Britain, as well as claims against his associates, such as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
At least three British police forces are dealing with allegations triggered by the revelations about Epstein and his associates in documents released in the US, with more claims of wrongdoing expected by police chiefs.
A national committee to coordinate the British police operations met this week and is scheduled to meet again next week.
The group includes police experts on sexual offending and is chaired by a gold commander, Louisa Rolfe, who was previously a Metropolitan police assistant commissioner.
