The House Oversight Committee needs to pursue a full, unredacted investigation into Sarah Kellen and her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking operation. Kellen served as Epstein's personal assistant and traveling companion for 15 years, and by her own admission to the FBI, she recruited countless underage girls to give Epstein massages at his Palm Beach mansion and properties in the U.S. Virgin Islands and New Mexico. That is not peripheral involvement. That is participation in child sex trafficking. A heavily redacted 2020 federal prosecution memo suggests prosecutors may have ruled out charging Kellen with Epstein-related crimes, despite her admissions. The public deserves to know why. Kellen was described as knowing more about Epstein's daily schedule than almost anyone outside of Ghislaine Maxwell. The redactions in that memo must be challenged and the Committee must demand answers about what deals, if any, were made to shield her from accountability. Victims deserve nothing less than full transparency on who enabled this abuse and why they were never charged.
