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 looking into this. We are seeing what is possible,” the minister told BBC Newsnight.

The move comes nearly seven years after Epstein’s death, with the scandal continuing to draw scrutiny from the British establishment. It has led to the arrests of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, King Charles’ brother, and Peter Mandelson, the former British ambassador to the United States.

Police Investigations Continue

British 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.
