Police are investigating former Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor) for alleged misconduct in public office that could include sexual misconduct, abuse of position and financial corruption, after the U.S. Department of Justice released files related to its probe of Jeffrey Epstein. Andrew was arrested on 19 February, questioned over suggestions that he shared confidential trade information with Epstein, and then released under investigation, repeatedly denying any wrongdoing. Thames Valley Police have appealed for witnesses to come forward, are working with the U.S. DOJ, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Royal Household, and have engaged the legal representative of a woman reportedly sent by Epstein for a sexual encounter with Andrew; the police say any report would be handled with sensitivity. Detectives caution that the investigation is complex and may not result in charges until after 2027.

British police are urging anyone with information to come forward as they continue investigating former Prince Andrew’s alleged offenses linked to Jeffrey Epstein, after the release of U.S. “Epstein Files” under the Transparency Act. Detectives are seeking to interview a woman reportedly taken to a Windsor address in 2010 for sexual purposes and have engaged her legal representative to assure anonymity and proper handling of any report. The inquiry, which follows Prince Andrew’s February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office and prior scrutiny over his friendship with Epstein, also examines claims that he shared confidential documents with Epstein while serving as a UK trade envoy. Officers have searched properties in Berkshire and Norfolk, are speaking with multiple witnesses, and are cooperating with the U.S. Department of Justice, emphasizing a thorough, meticulous investigation into all possible lines of enquiry.

News Headlines | Andrew investigation to include sexual misconduct claims

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The police investigation into former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor, will be lengthy and complex after his February arrest on suspicion of misconduct in public office—a charge that can include sexual impropriety. He was questioned for hours following the release of millions of U.S. Department of Justice documents linking him to the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, a relationship he has consistently denied and for which he has offered no public comment since his arrest. Detectives are probing reports that a woman was taken to a Windsor address in 2010 for a sexual encounter arranged by Epstein, though the woman has not yet reported the offence. The inquiry focuses on the prince’s role as the UK’s special representative for trade and investment from 2001‑2011, with released emails suggesting he may have shared sensitive information with Epstein, while also examining whether his position at the time qualifies as a public office for the purposes of the charge. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright stressed the investigation’s thoroughness, the open invitation for victims to come forward, and the ongoing effort to obtain the original U.S. files, noting that any evidence of separate offences would also be pursued.

Detectives investigating Prince Andrew (Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor) on suspicion of misconduct in public office have renewed their call for information, emphasizing that the inquiry is not limited to allegations he shared a confidential trade report with the late financier Jeffrey Epstein.

The investigation, sparked by US Department of Justice files on Epstein, has involved searches of Prince Andrew’s homes, cooperation with the US DOJ, the National Crime Agency, the Crown Prosecution Service and the Royal Household, and contact with known victims of Epstein. Thames Valley Police stress that anyone with relevant information should come forward, assuring that disclosures will be handled sensitively, and they warn that public perception should not narrow the focus of the probe.

#UKGovernment expands #police use of #FacialRecognition vans

by Kate Whannel, August 13, 2025

"More live facial recognition (#LFR) vans will be rolled out across seven police forces in England to locate suspects for crimes including sexual offences, violent assaults and homicides, the Home Office has announced.

"The forces will get access to 10 new vans equipped with cameras, which scan the faces of people walking past and check them against a list of wanted people.

"The government says the technology has been used in London to make 580 arrests in 12 months, including 52 registered sex offenders who breached their conditions.

"However, campaign group #BigBrotherWatch said the 'significant expansion of the #SurveillanceState' was 'alarming'.

"Live facial recognition was first used in #England and #Wales in 2017 during the Uefa Champions League final football match in Cardiff.

"Since then its use has largely been confined to #SouthWales, #London and #Essex including at a Beyoncé concert to scan for paedophiles and terrorists [like elderly Palestine Action activists!]

"The government is now funding 10 vans equipped with LFR to be shared between seven forces, approximately doubling the number of vehicles.

"The seven forces are Greater #Manchester, #WestYorkshire, #Bedfordshire, #Surrey, #Sussex, #ThamesValley and #Hampshire.

"The technology identifies people by taking measurements of facial features including the distance between the eyes and the length of the jawline and then comparing the data to to an existing watchlist.

"Each van will be staffed with a trained officer who checks the matches identified by the technology.

"Simultaneously, the government is holding a consultation on what safeguards are needed to "ensure transparency and public confidence", ahead of drawing up a new legal framework.

"Big Brother Watch is bringing a legal challenge against the #MetPolice's use of the technology, alongside #ShaunThompson, who was wrongly identified by an LFR camera.

#Rebecca Vincent, interim director of Big Brother Watch, said: 'Police have interpreted the absence of any legislative basis authorising the use of this intrusive technology as carte blanche to continue to roll it out unfettered, despite the fact that a crucial judicial review on the matter is pending.

" ;The #HomeOffice must scrap its plans to roll out further live facial recognition capacity until robust legislative safeguards are established.'

"Labour peer Baroness Chakrabarti told the BBC the technology was 'incredibly intrusive' and 'some would say this is yet another move towards a total #surveillance society'."
