Sex-criminal financier Jeffrey Epstein housed women who say he abused them in several London flats in the years after UK police decided not to investigate him, the BBC can reveal.

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.

The Met said it followed "reasonable lines of inquiry" at the time, interviewing Giuffre on multiple occasions following her complaint and co-operating with US investigators.

Some of the women housed in the London flats were coerced by Epstein to recruit others into his sex trafficking scheme, as well as regularly transported to Paris by Eurostar to visit him, according to emails in the files.

BBC probably helped hide it all like they did with Jimmy the fiddler Savile.

What the fuck is with this headline?

Epstein forced children he raped into London flats.

Is that what they meant?

You're not wrong, but they're trying to hide 5 things:

He had a London rape house, like the one in Miami and on Epstein Island
There is another place that you can find not only victims, but the abusers who hung out there (probably the most important one).
Virginia Guffrie told the police and they ignored her up until this article.
There are many other victims
The victims were international

We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.
