In closed-door testimony before the House Oversight Committee, Kellen denied helping Epstein traffic or abuse girls and instead described herself as someone who was sexually and psychologically abused by Epstein for more than a decade. She claimed Epstein manipulated, controlled, and “gaslit” her, and she pushed back against the long-standing public portrayal of her as a key operator inside his network. Her account attempts to recast her role from suspected facilitator to exploited subordinate, arguing that she lacked real power inside Epstein’s orbit and was trapped by dependence, coercion, and abuse. The testimony is significant because Kellen has long been treated as one of the most important unanswered figures in the Epstein case: she worked close to Epstein, was accused by victims of helping arrange encounters, and was shielded from federal prosecution by the controversial Florida deal that protected named and unnamed potential co-conspirators. According to the reporting, Kellen also gave investigators names of additional people allegedly connected to Epstein’s abuse network, which lawmakers described as a potentially important lead. But her testimony also creates a central tension for investigators and the public: whether Kellen’s claims of victimization explain her conduct, or whether they collide with years of allegations that she helped keep Epstein’s machinery running. Either way, her appearance before Congress puts one of Epstein’s most scrutinized former insiders back at the cent…","meta_description":"Sarah Kellen Vickers, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant and one of the women named in his 2007 non-prosecution agreement as a potential co-conspirator,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1240,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-moscow-murders-and-more-6558377/episodes/sarah-kellen-names-three-people-during-her-appearance-before-congress-5-27-26/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more-6558377/sarah-kellen-names-three-people-during-her-appearance-before-congress-5-27-26.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
