A BBC investigation has revealed that Jeffrey Epstein housed trafficking victims in London apartments after the Metropolitan Police chose not to investigate allegations against him in 2015.

The findings raise new questions about law enforcement decisions regarding the late financier, who was found dead in his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges.

According to the BBC report, Epstein maintained properties in London that were used to accommodate victims after British authorities declined to pursue trafficking claims made against him. The investigation suggests these arrangements continued following the police decision not to investigate.

The Metropolitan Police had previously faced scrutiny over their handling of allegations against Epstein. In 2015, authorities received claims regarding potential trafficking activities but opted not to launch a formal investigation into the matter.

The revelations add to ongoing concerns about how law enforcement agencies on both sides of the Atlantic handled allegations against Epstein over the years. Epstein had extensive international connections and properties in multiple countries, including the United States, the Caribbean, and Europe.

The BBC's findings come as various investigations continue into Epstein's network and the handling of previous allegations against him by law enforcement agencies worldwide.
