One of the reports relates to 'locations in Surrey and Berkshire in the mid-1990s to 2000'

Surrey Police has launched an investigation into two separate allegations of non-recent child sexual abuse following the release of the Epstein files.

In a statement, a spokesman from the force 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.


"One report relates to locations in Surrey and Berkshire in the mid-1990s to 2000.

"The other relates to the mid to late 1980s in West Surrey. No arrests have been made."

The spokesman continued: "We take all reports of sexual offending seriously and will work to identify any reasonable lines of enquiry to verify information or establish corroborating evidence.

"There is no further information at this time."

In February, Surrey Police called for witnesses to come forward after a redacted report released by the US Department of Justice in December.

The report set out allegations of human trafficking and sexual assault, which allegedly took place in Virginia Water between 1994 and 1996.

In February, Essex Police said it was assessing information about private flights to and from Stansted Airport following information released as part of the document dump by the US Department of Justice.

Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown claimed the files showed in "graphic detail" how paedophile financier Epstein was able to use the Essex-based airport to "fly in girls from Latvia, Lithuania and Russia".

A spokesman for Stansted Airport said the airport "does not manage or have any visibility of passenger arrangements on privately-operated aircraft".

Norfolk Police confirmed the force is also reviewing documents brought to their attention, but said they had not yet received any allegations and were not currently conducting any investigations.

In a statement released in February, a spokesman from Surrey Police said: "Following the US Department of Justice Epstein file release in December 2025, Surrey Police became aware of a redacted report alleging non-recent human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in Virginia Water, Surrey between 1994-1996.

"After reviewing our systems using the limited information available to us, we found no evidence of these allegations being reported to Surrey Police.

"We therefore encourage anyone with information in relation to these allegations to report this to us online, or via 101.

"We take all reports of child and sexual abuse seriously and therefore, as with any other matter, should new and relevant information be brought to our attention, including any information resulting from the release of materials in the US, we will assess it.

"Where relevant, and via the national co-ordination group, we will engage with law enforcement agencies to obtain access to further information which may support our enquiries."
