Convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime assistant, Sarah Kellen, gave the House Oversight Committee the names of three new alleged abusers during closed-door testimony today, according to Representative James Comer, a Kentucky Republican who chairs the committee.

In her opening statement, Kellen said that she was abused by Epstein, and that it “happened on average on a weekly basis, and was at times violent.”

She described one assault in Palm Beach in graphic detail, recounting how the late financier trapped her in a gym by lowering a metal hurricane shutter, choked her, and “violently raped” her. In another incident, she said Epstein entered her bedroom at night and assaulted her while she slept.

According to reporting from journalist Lisa Rubin, Kellen told lawmakers that Epstein only began paying her after confirming she would submit to his sexual abuse. “I was being paid, in part, to be raped,” she said.

Kellen also said the abuse continued even while Epstein was “supposedly serving his Florida jail sentence,” claiming he Skyped her from the Palm Beach County Stockade and ordered her to undress for him on camera.

Three New Alleged Offenders Named to Congress

Comer said Kellen described abuse “at the hands of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell,” and that the three names she provided were individuals the committee “hadn’t heard before.”

“That’s what we’ve been waiting for,” Comer told reporters.

The committee has not publicly released the names.

Comer also called Kellen’s interview: “by far the most substantive and productive interview that we’ve had. She was very brave.”

‘He Made Certain I Knew Defying Him Would Cost Me My Life’

Kellen anticipated questions about why she remained with Epstein for more than a decade.

“I had nowhere else to go,” she told the committee. “I had no money, no family, no education, and no sense that I deserved any better.”

She added that Epstein made it clear what the consequences would be of trying to leave. “He made certain that I knew that defying him would cost me my life,” she said.

Kellen described the power imbalance she lived under, saying she sat beside “men who started and ended wars” and understood that if Epstein could access those rooms, “he could find me anywhere on earth.”

Kellen Rejects ‘Co‑Conspirator’ Label: ‘No One Ever Asked Me a Single Question’

Kellen was previously named as a “potential co-conspirator” with Epstein when he was convicted in what has been described as a “sweetheart deal” on Florida state charges in 2008 of procuring a minor for prostitution and soliciting a prostitute. Kellen pushed back on her designation as a co‑conspirator, saying she was never interviewed by authorities and never given a chance to explain her role.

“I was not told this was happening. I was not asked about it,” she said. “No one from law enforcement ever spoke with me, ever heard my side, ever asked me a single question.”

She told lawmakers that the federal government “branded me a criminal in a secret deal with my own abuser,” and that she has spent every year since “trying to live underneath that piece of paper.”

Kellen Says She Was Epstein’s ‘Perfect Target’

Kellen told lawmakers she was 20, broke, recently divorced, and living alone in Hawaii after being cut off from her Jehovah’s Witnesses community when she met Epstein. She said she had already been groomed and abused before entering his orbit—vulnerabilities she believes made her “the perfect target.”

She urged lawmakers to ensure no other Epstein survivor is forced to relive their trauma in this manner again.

“Nobody else who has been through the hell that Jeffrey Epstein put us through should ever have to endure the pain of recounting it again, publicly,” she said.
