英国首相安迪·伯纳姆正在考虑启动公开调查，以调查已定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦在英国的活动[1]。受害者部长亚历克斯·戴维斯-琼斯表示，首相已同意与爱泼斯坦的受害者会面，并正在审查启动调查的可行性[1]。
伯纳姆同时也在考虑对前哈罗德百货公司老板穆罕默德·阿尔·法耶德的涉嫌不当行为启动类似调查[1]。针对阿尔·法耶德的指控超过400项，时间跨度从1977年至2014年[1]。伦敦警视厅正在调查来自至少156名投诉人的指控，其中21人在阿尔·法耶德于2023年去世前已提出控诉[1]。
Prime Minister Andy Burnham is weighing whether to launch a public inquiry into the United Kingdom activities of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein [1]. According to Victims Minister Alex Davies-Jones, Burnham has agreed to meet with Epstein's victims and is currently reviewing what investigative steps may be feasible [1].
The government is also considering conducting a similar inquiry into alleged misconduct by Mohamed Al Fayed, the former Harrods owner [1]. Over 400 allegations have been made against Al Fayed spanning from 1977 to 2014 [1]. The Metropolitan Police are currently investigating complaints from at least 156 individuals, with 21 of those complaints having been filed before Al Fayed's death in 2023 [1].
Davies-Jones departed from government in May after urging predecessor Keir Starmer to resign [1]. In late June, Starmer told activist Lisa Phillips that "my door is open," though he declined to commit to a meeting at that time [1].
