Epstein victims housed in UK

Epstein victims housed in UK

A BBC investigation has uncovered that many of the victims were brought to the UK from Russia and Eastern Europe after the Metropolitan Police had already decided not to investigate Epstein in 2015.

The revelation has sparked fresh calls for a public inquiry into why British authorities failed to take action despite multiple warnings.

Saturday marks the one-year anniversary of the death of Virginia Giuffre, whose decision to speak out against Epstein and his associates led to a global reckoning.

Survivors are now calling for the release of unredacted files to help secure further criminal charges against those who enabled Epstein's international abuse network.
