Surrey Police says it is investigating two separate allegations of “non-recent child sexual abuse” following the US release of the files related to the convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The force says that one relates to locations in Surrey and Berkshire in the mid 1990s to 2000. The other relates to the mid to late 1980s in west Surrey.
No arrests have been made, it added.
In a statement, police said it took “all reports of sexual offending seriously and will work to identify any reasonable lines of enquiry to verify information or establish corroborating evidence”.
It said it has become aware of a redacted report which alleged “non-recent human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in Virginia Water, Surrey between 1994- 1996”.
In that statement, dated 18 February 2026, it added it had found no evidence of the Surrey-related allegations having being reported to Surrey Police.
At the time, multiple police forces in the UK had said they were assessing whether to launch investigations into Epstein-related allegations, including the Metropolitan Police, Essex Police and Bedfordshire Police.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) has set up a national coordination group that is working with the National Crime Agency to support the number of forces carrying out inquiries.
Epstein died in a New York prison cell on 10 August 2019 as he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges.
It came more than a decade after the financier’s conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor, for which he was registered as a sex offender.
This time, he was accused of running a “vast network” of underage girls for sex. He pleaded not guilty.
The US Department of Justice has released over 3.5 million pages of documents related to the late sex offender.
There is no suggestion that appearing in the documents implies any wrongdoing. Many people who have featured in previous releases have denied any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.
