British Thames Valley Police have appealed for witnesses in an investigation into possible offenses, including sexual misconduct, by former Prince Andrew, now Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor. Police say they have been in contact with lawyers for a woman who alleges she was taken to a location in Windsor in 2010 for sexual purposes and assure that any report will be handled with care, sensitivity and respect for her privacy. A Florida attorney, Brad Edwards, told the BBC he represented a woman who says she had a sexual encounter with the former prince at his Windsor home after being trafficked by the late Jeffrey Epstein in 2010. Andrew has consistently denied any wrongdoing.

9News | UK police investigate child sexual abuse allegations linked to Epstein files by 9News

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

British police are probing two separate, decades‑old child sexual abuse allegations that surfaced in the Jeffrey Epstein files, one involving incidents in Surrey and Berkshire from the mid‑1990s to 2000 and another in west Surrey during the mid‑to‑late 1980s; while no arrests have been made, Surrey Police say they are reviewing new reports and will pursue any credible lines of enquiry into possible human trafficking and sexual assault, noting that the revelations have prompted additional tips, and they stress that mention in the 3.5 million‑page DOJ cache of Epstein documents does not imply wrongdoing; the investigation runs alongside unrelated UK probes that have already led to the arrests of Andrew Mountbatten‑Windsor and Lord Peter Mandelson over alleged misconduct in public office.

The Daily Beast Latest Articles | Trump, 79, Rants at Ally Over Epstein-Linked Ambassador by Will Neal

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

Donald Trump publicly rebuked UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer for appointing former EU trade chief Peter Mandelson as Britain’s ambassador to Washington despite Mandelson’s documented ties to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and alleged breaches of security, calling the choice a “bad pick” and saying Starmer “exercised wrong judgement.” Mandelson, whose clearance was overridden by the Foreign Office, was later dismissed after a US House committee revealed he had maintained contact with Epstein after the financier’s 2008 conviction, and he is now under police investigation in the UK for allegedly passing sensitive information to Epstein. Starmer, who selected Mandelson in December 2024 for his elite connections as a strategy ahead of a U.S.–U.K. trade deal, faces a leadership challenge amid declining Labour support, while Trump—who was a longtime friend of Epstein—has threatened to walk away from the trade agreement and has intensified attacks on Starmer over foreign‑policy disagreements, notably the latter’s refusal to join Trump’s war on Iran.

BBC News | Scammers are becoming ever more sophisticated - this is what the fightback looks like

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

Scammers are becoming increasingly sophisticated and international, as illustrated by Kirsty’s romance‑fraud case: after meeting a man on a dating site who claimed to be a wealthy English businessman, she transferred £80,000 over two months, only to discover the “businessman” was a Nigerian fraudster using a fake banking site and a voice disguiser, with the money routed through Nigeria, Romania and other countries. The Covid‑era boom in online activity has spurred a 20 % rise in romance scams and pushed fraud losses worldwide past half a trillion dollars annually, with most UK scams now originating abroad. Scam operations thrive in law‑less regions such as Myanmar, Cambodia and West Africa, often employing trafficked workers in “scam farms” that masquerade as legitimate call centres. In response, governments and tech firms convened at a UN‑Interpol Global Fraud Summit in Vienna, where 44 countries pledged to disrupt fraud at its source and improve victim support, while companies like Amazon, Meta and Match.com introduced stronger anti‑scam measures. Despite these efforts, the cross‑border nature of fraud and uneven resources across nations make it a continuing challenge to protect victims like Kirsty and recover stolen funds.
