The UK has arrested high-profile figures connected to Jeffrey Epstein. Will the US?

In contrast with the takedowns of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and Peter Mandelson, US consequences have been limited to resignations and apologies

Weeks after justice department officials released more than 3m investigative documents related to Jeffrey Epstein, there have not been any arrests in the US, prompting questions about whether any potential co-conspirators will be held accountable on American soil.

Indeed, consequences in the US for the sex trafficker's associates have largely been limited to a handful of sombre resignations and public apologies of late - not high-level criminal prosecutions that victims and advocates have long demanded.
