Police in the U.K. say they are investigating two allegations of decades-old child sex abuse after looking into potential crimes revealed in documents from the U.S. Justice Department’s investigation into the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
Police in Surrey, the county immediately southwest of London, said in a statement Tuesday that they are investigating two separate allegations. One relates to locations in Surrey and Berkshire from the mid-1990s to 2000. The other relates to the mid- to late 1980s in West Surrey.
No arrests have been made.
“We take all reports of sexual offending seriously and will work to identify any reasonable lines of enquiry to verify information or establish corroborating evidence,’’ police said in a statement.
Surrey is among several U.K. police forces that have worked together to assess potential crimes revealed in documents linked to the late financier and sex offender.
The National Police Chiefs’ Council, which brings together police leaders from across the U.K., said in February that it had set up a national coordination group to support forces looking into issues arising from the more than 3 million pages of documents released earlier this year.
While the council didn’t specify the police forces involved in the effort, at least eight have said they are “assessing” information in the files. They are looking into issues ranging from concerns that Epstein’s private jet may have been used in sex trafficking to allegations that the former Prince Andrew sent confidential reports to the financier when he was Britain’s international trade envoy.
The Epstein scandal has rocked the royal family and British politics in recent months because of his links to Peter Mandelson, the U.K.’s former ambassador to Washington, and to the former prince, now known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.
King Charles III in October stripped his younger brother of his royal titles, including the right to be called a prince, in an effort to insulate the royal family from the continuing revelations about his friendship with Epstein.
Unfortunately, the ages and genders of these kids are not mentioned in this report. But boys will be recruited into the gang as either warriors or possibly suicide bombers. Girls will become child brides or possibly traded for ransoms.
Dozens of schoolchildren abducted in Nigeria
Gunmen invaded an institution in Mussa Biri community in Borno State on Friday when classes were in session, a local civil society group has said

More than 40 pupils have been kidnapped after militants, suspected to be members of the jihadist group Boko Haram, attacked a school in Borno State in northeastern Nigeria, according to a senior lawmaker and local residents.
The gunmen reportedly stormed the Primary and Junior Government Day Secondary School (GDSS) in Mussa-Biri community, located in Askira-Uba Local Government Area, last Friday.
In a statement cited by local media, Senator Mohammed Ali Ndume, who represents Borno South, said 32 students were seized from classrooms and another ten from nearby homes.
The Network of Civil Society Organizations – Borno State said on Sunday that 48 students were abducted in the “heinous attack” that has left “the entire community in profound shock and psychological trauma.”
The organization said the insurgents breached the school’s perimeter when classes were in session, causing pandemonium that forced “dozens of other students to flee into the surrounding bushes.”
The attack occurred near Sambisa Forest, a known base for militants. No group has claimed responsibility, but Boko Haram and its splinter group, Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), have previously targeted schools in the northeast. The region has been at the centre of a longstanding Islamist insurgency, with mass abductions, including the 2014 kidnapping of more than 270 Chibok schoolgirls.
On Saturday, the authorities in Abuja and Washington announced that a joint military operation in the Lake Chad Basin killed senior Islamic State commander Abu Bilal al Minuki, described by US President Donald Trump as the group’s global second in command.
The Nigerian police and military have not issued any public statement confirming the Mussa village incident. The raid comes amid a wave of violent attacks across Africa’s most populous nation, despite increased security measures, including a state of emergency declared by the government.
In a separate incident, gunmen attacked two primary schools in the Oriire area of Oyo State in the early hours of Friday, killing a staff member and abducting an unspecified number of victims. On Saturday, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu condemned the assault and announced that security forces have intensified rescue operations and deployed additional tactical units to the area.
A week earlier, 17 police officers were killed when terrorists launched an assault on the Nigerian Army Special Forces School in Buni Yadi, Yobe State. Authorities described the May 8 raid as “a coordinated attack on the facility from multiple directions.”
Last Thursday, the Nigerian Police Force announced it had conducted internal purges, dismissing officers involved in kidnapping, extortion, and armed robbery.
Largest US children’s hospital to launch ‘detransition clinic’
The Houston-based center will also sack five doctors who provided gender-affirming treatments to youth, the Texas Attorney General has said
Published 17 May, 2026 13:30 | Updated 17 May, 2026 14:35
Texas Children’s Hospital (TCH) will become the first American medical institution to open a clinic for adolescents seeking to reverse gender-related medical treatments, the US Department of Justice said.
The move comes as part of a settlement of a years-long probe by the DOJ and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton into America’s largest children’s hospital over its alleged false billings to secure insurance coverage for pediatric gender-affirming treatments.
The Justice Department said in a statement on Friday that Texas Children’s agreed not to offer sex change services, inducing administration of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones, to minors anymore.
The Houston-based center will also pay over $10 million in damages and “dedicate millions to the provision of medical care to children harmed by the provision of such procedures,” the statement read.
Paxton announced in a separate statement that the TCH will also dismiss five doctors, who according to him, “harmed patients by performing dangerous medical interventions for the purpose of ‘transitioning’ them.”
Acting US Attorney General Todd Blanche welcomed the settlement, which marks the first resolution in the DOJ’s ongoing national investigation into transition care, saying that it “protects vulnerable children, holds providers accountable, and ensures those harmed receive the care they need.”
“The Justice Department will use every weapon at its disposal to end the destructive and discredited practice of so-called ‘gender-affirming care’ for children,” Blanche insisted.
The hospital has denied any wrongdoing, saying in a statement that it decided to settle in order “to protect our resources from endless and costly litigation” and return to focusing on patient care.
“We stand proud knowing we will always put our purpose over politics and that we have and will continue to follow the law,” it said.
Senior counsel at Lambda Legal, an LGBTQ advocacy group, Karen Loewy told Reuters that “it’s deeply appalling to see [the TCH] capitulate to the relentless pressure campaigns of both AG Paxton and the Trump Administration.”
Russia, which has taken steps to promote traditional values, banned legal and medical “gender transitions” except in serious medical cases in 2023. Last year, Moscow also outlawed the adoption of children by those living in countries that permit gender-reassignment procedures. According to Russian President Vladimir Putin, the West is engaged in what he called “gender terrorism.”
Jermaine Jackson ordered to pay more than $6.5 million to a woman who accused him of rape

Singer Jermaine Jackson has been ordered to pay more than $6.5 million to a woman who accused him of raping her in 1988.
After years of avoiding a trial, 71-year-old Jermaine Jackson must now face the consequences. Sued in December 2023 for a rape he allegedly committed in 1988, Michael Jackson's brother, also a former member of the Jackson Five and father of Jafaar Jackson (currently starring in the biopic "Michael" ), has just been ordered to pay $6.5 million (€5.58 million) to the victim.
The accuser claims that the singer broke into her home one day in 1988 and sexually assaulted her with "force and violence".
According to the default judgment filed last Thursday in Los Angeles Superior Court - which People was able to review - it was ruled that Jermaine Jackson must compensate his accuser Rita Butler Barrett for the damages suffered.
The facts concealed to protect the singer's career
The victim explained that she had known Jermaine Jackson for years through their "professional and personal ties," as her husband, Ben Barrett, was working at the time with Berry Gordy, the founder of Motown Records who had signed the Jackson Five in 1968.
Jermaine Jackson was married to Hazel Joy, Berry Gordy's eldest daughter, with whom he had three children. As reported by EW, at the time of the alleged events, Michael Jackson's brother was separated from his wife, who had filed for divorce in November 1987 after he fathered a child with his mistress, Margaret Maldonado.
In her complaint, Rita Butler Barrett stressed that she reported the assault to Berry Gordy the very next day, but that he preferred to "conceal the facts" to protect Jermaine Jackson, who was then under contract with Motown Records as a solo artist.
Berry Gordy's lawyers responded Saturday, stating that "Ms. Barrett's statements regarding Mr. Gordy were false." At the time of writing, Jermaine Jackson's lawyers had not commented on the court's decision.
Around 10 'new' victims come forward in France's Epstein investigation
Americas
French prosecutors investigating Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged trafficking network say around ten previously unidentified suspected victims have recently contacted authorities, widening a probe into possible abuse committed in France or involving French accomplices linked to the late financier.
Around ten "new" suspected victims have come forward in a French probe into the network of late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a Paris prosecutor said Sunday.
France opened a human trafficking investigation after the US Justice Department in January released the latest cache of files from the investigation into the disgraced financier, who died in prison in 2019 while facing charges of trafficking underage girls for sex.
French magistrates are seeking to investigate possible offences committed in France or involving French perpetrators who facilitated his crimes.
Top Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said around 20 suspected victims had made themselves known after she in February urged potential victims to speak up.
Some were already known to investigators, she told the RTL broadcaster.
"But we also had new victims come forward, ones we didn't know at all. There are around 10 of them," she added.
"The choice we've made for the time being is to listen to these victims," she said.
"A certain number of them are abroad so the investigators have tried to set up meetings to suit when they are able to come to Paris."
Investigators were also scouring through the so-called Epstein files, and would be searching them for any names mentioned by alleged victims, she said.
"We have also once again pulled out Mr Epstein's computers, his telephone records, his address books," she said, adding her team would be "making requests for international assistance".
French investigators searched Epstein's luxury Paris apartment in September 2019, after he was found hanged in his New York jail cell the previous month.
Suspected victims already known to investigators included women who had spoken during investigations into former European model agency boss Gerald Marie and late model agent Jean-Luc Brunel.
Fifteen women in March urged France to investigate Marie for possible links to Epstein.
Investigators in 2023 closed another probe into accusations Marie committed sexual abuse in the 1980s and 1990s because it was too long ago to be prosecuted.
French authorities arrested Brunel in 2020 after allegations he sexually abused minors and procured victims for the US billionaire. He was found dead in prison in 2022.
Two former models have told AFP that a modelling scout named Daniel Siad groomed them with the aim of delivering them to Epstein in one case in the 2000s, and Marie in the other case in the 1990s.
In the latest human trafficking probe, "none of the people who could potentially be implicated have been questioned" so far, Beccuau said.
Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to procuring for prostitution a girl under the age of 18, and served 13 months in prison before being released on probation.
