The Epstein files: UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer Apologizes to Jeffrey Epstein Victims
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has issued a public apology to victims of Jeffrey Epstein, acknowledging failures by powerful figures and pledging to uncover the full truth.
In a statement, Starmer expressed regret for the harm suffered by victims and apologized for what he described as systemic failures that allowed abuse to continue unchecked. He also said he was sorry for having believed false statements made by Lord Mandelson and for appointing him to a position of authority.
โI am sorry, sorry for what was done to you, sorry that so many people with power failed you,โ Starmer said. โWe will pursue the truth.โ
The prime ministerโs remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of Epsteinโs connections and the role of influential individuals who were linked to him. Starmer emphasized that accountability and transparency are necessary to restore public trust and ensure justice for survivors.
He said the government is committed to examining past decisions and failures and to supporting efforts that center victimsโ voices rather than protecting those in positions of power.
The apology has been welcomed by some survivor advocates, who say public acknowledgment from senior leaders is an important step, though they continue to call for concrete actions and full disclosure.
