Overview
- The force said it had taken note of a redacted FBI report alleging human trafficking and sexual assaults on a minor in 1994–1996 in the Surrey village.
- The appeal asks anyone with information to contact officers because limited details in the US document left no matches in local archives.
- British media report the redacted material names Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell, with an anonymous witness alleging a woman was tied to a table and tortured with electric shocks; these claims remain uncorroborated.
- Several UK forces are examining leads from the released files, including a Thames Valley Police inquiry into a separate 2010 claim that Andrew had sex with a second woman allegedly sent by Jeffrey Epstein.
- Other lines of inquiry reportedly assess possible roles in flights bringing women to the UK and any sharing of confidential information with Epstein following the December 2025 US Justice Department release; Andrew has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.
