Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley stated that investigations into the Jeffrey Epstein files send a crucial message that "no one is above the law," particularly in addressing sexual offending rooted in power dynamics. This initiative, coinciding with the five-year anniversary of Sarah Everard's murder, involves nine UK police forces examining tens of thousands of US-released documents linked to Epstein. Rowley affirmed the Met's commitment to investigating potential misconduct by royal protection officers who served Prince Andrew, emphasizing that "wherever offending sits, we will go after it." The Met is also reviewing information concerning the alleged use of London airports for trafficking and sexual exploitation, underscoring a broader societal outrage that is influencing police culture.
