Epstein housed abuse victims in London flats, BBC reveals

24 April 2026

Sex-criminal financier Jeffrey Epstein housed women who say he abused them in several London flats in the years after UK police decided not to investigate him, the BBC can reveal.

We found evidence of four flats, rented in the affluent borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in receipts, emails and bank records contained within the Epstein files. Six of the women housed in them have since come forward as victims of Epstein's abuse.

Many of them - from Russia, eastern Europe and elsewhere - were brought to the UK after the Metropolitan Police decided not to investigate Virginia Giuffre's 2015 allegation that she had been a victim of international trafficking to London.

The Met said it followed "reasonable lines of inquiry" at the time, interviewing Giuffre on multiple occasions following her complaint and co-operating with US investigators.

Maybe that's another connection to Epstein.

The bastard is just Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor now.

And yes Fergie would have let Epstein use her flat.
She thought Epstein was going to marry her.
She is another delusional not too bright royal.

David Cameron was the epitome of U.K. Tory conceit.

He'd tell anyone who'd listen, that he was actually descended from King William IV (by way of the king's having raped one of his chambermaids, as it turned out).

He was also nobody's fool - and no doubt knew full well what Epstein was up to.

Epstein owned a condo somewhere in Paris too. I doubt that he refrained from his regular pattern of abuse just because he was in another country.
