"When the state is the victim, the state moves at pace. When women are alleged victims the state barely moves at all. The view of the victims is that their suffering is not being treated by British police with the same urgency as the alleged offences against the interests of the state."
"They feel they have been ignored for years. The hard stuff, that is the allegations of sexual assault and trafficking, nobody seems to be dealing effectively with that."
Jeffrey Epstein victims report being ignored by British police as investigations prioritize state interests over their suffering. Former chief prosecutor Nazir Afzal states that allegations of sexual assault and trafficking are not being handled effectively, with victims feeling neglected for years. One woman alleged Epstein sent her to the UK where she was attacked. Meanwhile, former Prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor faces investigation for misconduct in public office. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown has demanded investigations into whether Andrew used taxpayer-funded jets and RAF bases to meet Epstein. Liberal Democrat leader Ed Davey calls for release of all Epstein flight logs and documents. Sir Keir Starmer has avoided committing to a public inquiry into Epstein's possible use of British airports for trafficking.
