U.K. police won’t reopen a sex-exploitation investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, days after Prince Andrew sparked outrage with a TV interview about his friendship with the convicted sex-offender who died in a New York jail.
A human-trafficking complaint was originally received by the Metropolitan Police in July 2015, concerning an individual brought to central London in March 2001. But the Met said Thursday that it wouldn’t be appropriate to investigate further because most of the case would be focused outside of the U.K.
