A woman who was named as a potential “co-conspirator” with Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell and who worked as a personal assistant to the child predator for ten years will tell the House Oversight Committee today that she was a victim and not a facilitator.

Sarah Kellen was one of four women named as possible collaborators and given immunity as part of Epstein’s sweetheart 2007 deal with prosecutors in Florida.

According to outspoken Republican Reps Nancy Mace and Anna Paulina Luna, Kellen was “let off the hook” by the authorities investigating the Epstein scandal. But Kellen will tell lawmakers how she was sexually and mentally abused by the manipulative millionaire. Investigators decided against prosecuting her after ruling that she was victimized by Epstein. She will give her story to lawmakers in a transcribed interview.
