    We found evidence of four flats, rented in the affluent borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in receipts, emails and bank records contained within the Epstein files. Six of the women housed in them have since come forward as victims of Epstein’s abuse.

    Many of them - from Russia, eastern Europe and elsewhere - were brought to the UK after the Metropolitan Police decided not to investigate Virginia Giuffre’s 2015 allegation that she had been a victim of international trafficking to London.

    Edit: Holy shit, this is probably why Melania did that press conference recently about her not being tied to epstein.

    It’s weird to keep calling these “Epstein” liars, as though he’s the world’s only known pedophile.

    Given they were in the UK, I think Peter Mandelson Liars would be more appropriate.

      I mean… In the article…

      “Epstein’s dead. But it’s clear that he wasn’t acting alone. Who else was involved and what offences could they have committed? And of course, importantly, is this still going on with others?” he said.
