Middle East Eye • 2/3/2026
Summary
Reform UK treasurer Nick Candy met Jeffrey Epstein associate Sarah Kellen in 2004 and contacted Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence in the US for child sex trafficking. These meetings occurred before Epstein's conviction for child sex offences in 2008 and prior to Maxwell's conviction in 2021 for recruiting and grooming girls for sexual encounters. Candy, a billionaire property developer and former Conservative Party donor, joined Nigel Farage's Reform UK before the July 2024 election and donated £1 million.
