British Prime Minister Andy Burnham is considering launching a public inquiry into convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and his activities in the United Kingdom, victims minister Alex Davies-Jones said on Wednesday.
Speaking to the BBC, Davies-Jones said Burnham would meet with Epstein’s victims and that a public inquiry could follow.
We are seeing what is possible,” the minister told BBC Newsnight.
Police Investigations ContinueBritish police are already investigating a number of allegations connected to Epstein, including possible offenses ranging from child sexual abuse to the trafficking of women through UK airports and misconduct in public office.
Davies-Jones said a potential public inquiry could also examine the actions of the late Egyptian billionaire Mohamed al-Fayed, another prominent figure who has been accused of rape and sexual assault by hundreds of victims.
