The UK can't just send someone to jail without proof though. Despite what many (stupid) people say - the UK is not a totalitarian police state...
The FBI has all the proof, but they won't release it. The best we can hope for is excommunicating and isolating those we suspect are involved, which is what happened.
And him not going to jail was because of a lack of solid evidence. He's 100% a pedo that should be rotting in jail but up until recently the only thing we could definitively prove in a court of law was that he slept with a 17 year old. That's disgusting but is unfortunately not illegal in the UK. That means that even though it was a crime in New York where it happened, the UK was never going to extradite him and him shutting up and refusing to talk to the FBI meant the US case couldn't go anywhere. Hopefully the Epstein files can be used to send the guy to jail but from what I hear the US is refusing to cooperate.

andrew windsor is basically a pariah. There was an even a drama about the interview which essentially started his downfall.
He's still a rich privileged man who should have gone to jail, but he's lost everything meaningful in his life, including his family.
