Sarah Kellen once told New York federal prosecutors that she thought of Jeffrey Epstein as “God-like” because he effectively dominated her existence, not only financially, but also mentally and emotionally.
He was a father figure, a provider, and a man she once loved, documents show.
As one of Epstein’s recruiters of underage girls in South Florida, Kellen admitted in interviews with the FBI and prosecutors that she blindly followed his instructions and gave little thought to anything else, including how old the girls were.
In a heavily redacted memo from 2020, prosecutors outlined the evidence they had against Kellen, and it appears they ruled out charging her with Epstein-related crimes, even though she admitted she recruited countless underage girls to give him massages at his Palm Beach mansion, and at his residences in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New Mexico.
Kellen, now 46, is scheduled to testify today before the House Oversight Committee about her 15-year association Epstein.
Next to Ghislaine Maxwell or possibly Lesley Groff, no one knows more about Jeffrey Epstein’s daily schedule more than Kellen, who acted as Epstein’s personal assistant and traveling companion from 2001 until 2015, when she met and married NASCAR driver Brian Vickers. (The two divorced last year).
Kellen was about 21 when she met Epstein through an acquaintance she had met in Hawaii, where she ended up after she was excommunicated from her religious family at the age of 17.
