Referred to as Ghislaine Maxwell’s lieutenant, Sarah was a constant force at Epstein’s Palm Beach home. She was part-administrator, part-recruiter and part- abuser, according to court documents. Police were ready to arrest her before the controversial 2008 Jeffrey Epstein immunity deal.
She was listed in those documents as one of the pedophile’s potential coconspirators.
Sarah has been accused of setting up to six “massage” sessions a day for Epstein. She was the head administrator in Palm Beach, organised the logistics for the girls and the women caught up in the sex trafficking operation.
Sarah sent hundreds of girls up the spiral staircase in Epstein’s Palm Beach home to be abused by the dead pedophile and rapist.
Spencer T. Kuvin, a lawyer representing several accusers, told the New York Times: “Sarah was really running that organization, bringing girls and getting them in and out of the Palm Beach home.”
She was also well paid as Epstein divulged in a 2005 interview that he paid his closest assistants $200,000 a year. One of Jeffrey Epstein's pilots said Sarah was “like an assistant to Ghislaine.”
Sarah kept the names and numbers of all the girls who gave Epstein massages, according to Palm Beach police. She would call them whenever the sex offender was in town, asking the girls if they were ready to “work,” the reports said. Survivor Sarah Ransome told CBS: “You know when Jeffrey wanted me, you know, Sarah Kellen or Ghislaine would call me into his bedroom, and I had no choice but to go," she said. "Ghislaine was always on the phone, and Sarah Kellen was always on her laptop organizing things." Ransome said Kellen booked all her flights.
Mr Kuvin, who is representing several accusers, told the New York Times: “Sarah was really running that organization, bringing girls and getting them in and out of the Palm Beach home.”
According to her spokesperson, Ms Jackie Schmaler, as soon as Sarah was brought into Epstein's world he began to sexually abuse her. This went on for years, said Schmaler.
But Epstein and Maxwell’s survivors Virginia Giuffre, Teresa Helm and Sarah Ransome are adamant she is an abuser. When do you become a participant to the abuse? Was Sarah given no choice? Was there blackmail involved? Was it a case of she no longer had any roots in the world, except for the small circle? She may not have had any where else to turn to, as her family and community rejected her.
The most important thing here is Sarah was still an adult throughout. She plead the fifth amendment on the Epstein allegations and was one of the beneficiaries of the much-criticised Acosta plea deal.
So we may never know her full story. It is the view of the survivors that Kellen is not a victim; she was a perpetrator. In an interview with The New York Times, Epstein survivor Ransome said “Ms. Kellen and Ms. Maxwell also gave her tips on how to give Mr. Epstein erotic massages, including how to rub his feet and best satisfy him sexually.” “It was Ghislaine and Sarah Kellen that showed me how to please Jeffrey,” Ms. Ransome said. One survivor says of Sarah: “In Paris...she stayed with Epstein’s reputed recruiter, Ghislaine Maxwell, and was forced to pose nude for photographs taken by assistant Sarah Kellen.”
To this day, the allegations against Kellen are shocking. So Sarah may now be sorry for what she did while working for Epstein. She told the Lifetime documentary Surviving Jeffrey Epstein, she was aware of the pain and damage Epstein had caused and deeply regrets that she had any part in it. But she isn't saying so in a courtroom. As far as we know, she has never coooperated with law enforcement. Two of the Epstein survivors told Lifetime that Sarah was an excellent recruiter. In the documentary, Virginia Giuffre said Kellen was “so successful in bringing girls in." Survivor Teresa Helm recounted on Surviving Jeffrey Epstein how she met Sarah while at massage school at Santa Monica. The recruiter spun Teresa vision of a magical life with Epstein, even though she knew she would be raped. Sarah was extremely fortunate not to have been jailed after the 2008 trial.
The non prosecution deal let Sarah live a glamorous and worry free life from 2008 until recently. Study, social events and travel. Life was peachy.
