Jeffrey Epstein‘s former personal assistant, Sarah Kellen, gave her closed-door testimony to the House Oversight Committee on her years-long association with the disgraced financier. She reportedly said that Epstein abused her as she managed his relationships with girls and young women. She recalled meeting high-profile figures including Princess Beatrice while slamming stories that suggested she was Ghislaine Maxwell‘s “lieutenant.”

According to The Guardian, Sarah Kellen’s testimony was a part of its ongoing probe into the federal government’s handling of cases linked to Epstein and his former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Identified as one of four prospective co-conspirators named in the disgraced financier’s “non-prosecution agreement,” Kellen and the other three women have not been charged in it.

On the other hand, Kellen denied any wrongdoing in her deposition and claimed that Epstein sexually and psychologically assaulted her for more than a decade. She said therapy helped her see herself as a survivor. “I was trapped inside Jeffrey Epstein’s world,” she said, further alleging that the late pe–phile controlled, dominated, and manipulated her until she could no longer differentiate between her and his thoughts.

Described as a key figure in Epstein’s s-x-trafficking network, Kellen’s job was to recruit girls and handle their travel arrangements, noting “they were often too young to drive themselves to and from the mansion.” She addressed the claims and stated that online articles referring to her as “Ghislaine’s Lieutenant” were a “gross misrepresentation.”

She claimed that she was a “literal indentured slave” while Ghislaine called her a “slave” and “minion.” She claimed to have no power or authority and that she was there to serve and surrender.

According to TMZ, Kellen said that when she was first hired, she spent her time training, traveling, and working around the clock for Epstein and Maxwell without pay. She stated that she feared risking her “survival and stability” by asking for the compensation.

According to Sarah, Epstein started paying her after he allegedly ordered her to prepare a bath for him, remove his clothes, and join him in the tub before giving her further directions. “The job is yours. Now you just have to keep it,” she recalled Epstein telling her.

The former personal assistant of the late s**-offender told the Committee that she was only getting $25K a year and working continuously without any day off. She said, “I was being paid, in part, to be raped.” She admitted being abused weekly, which could even be “violent” at times. She even recalled an incident in which Epstein allegedly trapped her in the gym, turned up the music, and sexually assaulted her while choking her.

In a shocking revelation, she revealed Epstein skyped her from jail while he was serving his sentence at a Palm Beach prison and demanded that she undress for him. She claimed that there were many such events, but she did not remember them as she had detached herself from them.

Kellen stated that she was reminded every day how powerful and influential Epstein was. She said defying him would mean losing everything, including her life. She named several high-profile individuals she met while travelling with Epstein. These included Princess Beatrice, Bill Clinton, Ehud Barak, and the Sultan of Brunei.
