Epstein’s longtime assistant accused three previously unknown abusers connected to him, Oversight chair says

Kellen rejected accomplice claims and said Epstein abused her for more than a decade, while naming three men she says were also involved.

  • On Thursday, longtime assistant Sarah Kellen testified before the House Oversight Committee in a closed-door hearing, providing what Chairman James Comer called the most substantive and productive interview the committee has conducted.
  • Kellen, a longtime personal assistant to Jeffrey Epstein, has faced scrutiny for being named a potential "co-conspirator" in his 2008 sweetheart deal, though she maintains she was also a victim of his sexual abuse and manipulation.
  • During testimony, Kellen provided three names of new alleged co-conspirators and detailed abuse occurring on average weekly, describing how Epstein entered her room at night and, in one Palm Beach incident, trapped her in a gym and violently raped her.
  • Comer told reporters that Kellen gave the committee "what we've been waiting for," describing the session as the committee's most productive Epstein-related interview and signaling momentum in their investigation.
  • The House Oversight Committee intends to release the testimony transcript as soon as possible, though it must first redact the names of several victims mentioned during the closed-door proceedings.
