Jeffrey Epstein’s UK operation was far larger than previously known, with BBC‑investigated documents showing he rented at least four luxury flats in Kensington and Chelsea to house women he trafficked after the Metropolitan Police declined to pursue Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 complaint.

The files also expose Epstein’s direct involvement in the women’s daily lives, from paying rent and school fees to demanding “work” for him, and demonstrate missed investigative opportunities by UK police and the National Crime Agency despite clear human‑trafficking evidence.
