Sarah Kellen, who was a close associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has recently spoken out about Ghislaine Maxwell’s significant role in shaping Epstein into the abhorrent figure he became. Kellen, who previously accused Epstein of sexually assaulting her on a regular basis, detailed how Maxwell enabled and facilitated Epstein’s reign of sexual abuse by attending to his every desire. In a recent testimony, Kellen mentioned socializing with Prince Andrew at Buckingham Palace and attending Princess Beatrice’s birthday celebration at Windsor Castle.
Kellen expressed her belief that Maxwell played a pivotal role in Epstein’s transformation into a monstrous individual. She described Maxwell as someone who not only enabled Epstein’s behavior but actively encouraged it by fulfilling his every whim. Kellen, who served as Epstein’s personal assistant for over a decade starting in 2001, was also implicated as one of the key figures in Epstein’s illicit activities involving minors.
Contrary to being portrayed as a willing participant, Kellen claimed that she was coerced into joining Epstein’s circle after meeting a woman in Hawaii. She strongly refuted any notion that she held a position of power within Epstein’s organization, asserting instead that she was subjected to repeated assaults by Epstein. The transcript of Kellen’s testimony was recently made public by the House Oversight Committee as part of the ongoing investigations into Epstein’s criminal activities.
Kellen criticized Maxwell, who is currently serving a lengthy prison sentence for her involvement in trafficking minors for Epstein, stating that Maxwell should never be pardoned. Kellen recounted disturbing instances where Maxwell allegedly instructed her on how to please Epstein physically. Describing both Epstein and Maxwell as despicable individuals, Kellen highlighted Epstein’s volatile nature and recounted instances where he would intimidate even Maxwell, whom Kellen perceived as a formidable figure.
Additionally, Kellen mentioned encounters with Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, emphasizing her interactions with prominent individuals. Notably, she recalled attending events where Epstein, Maxwell, and other controversial figures like Harvey Weinstein were present. Despite mounting scrutiny, Prince Andrew denied knowledge of Epstein’s legal troubles during their interactions. Shortly after a party attended by Epstein, he was arrested by authorities in Florida.
Kellen clarified that she did not witness any inappropriate behavior from Prince Andrew towards her and confirmed that he was not among the individuals she identified as engaging in sexual activities with her, aside from Epstein. She also disclosed details about Maxwell’s actions, including giving Castro a book about her late father, media mogul Robert Maxwell.
Having grown up as a Jehovah’s Witness and experienced early grooming that led to a troubled marriage, Kellen transitioned into working for Epstein following her divorce. Epstein, who died in a New York prison cell in 2019 while facing charges related to child sex trafficking, and Maxwell, who was sentenced to 20 years in a US prison in 2021 for her involvement in Epstein’s illicit network, were central figures in a scandal that continues to captivate public attention.
