Jeffrey Epstein’s former assistant is ‘quietly waiting’ to see if she is named in bombshell court documents due to be released today that will allegedly expose more than 170 individuals with ties to the pedophile’s sex trafficking ring.
Sarah Kellen, 44, worked with Epstein for several years in the early 2000s and was accused during by witnesses in Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal trial of ‘scheduling the massages’ in which Epstein abused his victims.
Kellen – who has not been charged with a crime and has previously alleged that she too was a victim of Epstein – was called a ‘knowing participant’ in Epstein’s scheme by a US judge.
She had a ‘front-row seat to the debauchery’, sources close to Kellen and her family told The Messenger as speculation grew that she may be named in the trove of documents set to be released today. The source claimed that Kellen believes her insider knowledge into Epstein’s scheme could be ‘valuable’ in helping her ‘stay free’.
Prince Andrew and former presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton are also among those expected to be named in the records.
All three came under scrutiny just yesterday after old flight logs for Epstein’s famed ‘Lolita Express’ jet resurfaced, revealing they had all traveled on the plane.
The soon-to-be unsealed documents are part of a defamation case Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre brought against Maxwell, the British socialite who supplied Epstein with underage girls, in 2015. The case was settled out of court two years later.
Manhattan federal Judge Loretta Preska ruled last month that the court documents could be unsealed this year. The filings previously only named Epstein’s alleged ties as John and Jane Does.
Donald Trump is among the high-profile individuals expected to be named in a trove of court documents about Jeffrey Epstein’s connections that will be unsealed soon.

Bill Clinton is also expected to be named in the documents, despite previously denying having any nefarious connections with Epstein, as has Donald Trump.

Kellen was already publicly named in the since-settled defamation lawsuit that Giuffre brought against Maxwell.
She was also repeatedly mentioned at Maxwell’s federal criminal trial in NYC, with a victim alleging that Kellen had arranged the ‘massage’ appointments during which she was abused.
Kellen was also called a ‘knowing participant in the criminal conspiracy’ by Judge Alison Nathan during Maxwell’s sentencing in 2022. The judge added that Kellen had been ‘supervised’ by Maxwell.
Now, as the court documents are set to be unsealed today, there is speculation that Kellen could be again linked tied to the financier’s sex trafficking ring.
Kellen and her husband, former NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, have lived out of the public eye in recent years, despite Epstein’s death and Maxwell having been convicted and jailed.
But sources close to the couple told The Messenger that Kellen has information about Epstein’s ring that would ‘shock the world’ and that she views as a ‘get out of jail free card.’
‘She has so much to say, to plead her case,’ the insider claimed. ‘It’s more valuable for her to hold onto the information should she need it to stay free.’
She and Vickers are understood to currently be living in a luxury Miami Beach ‘fortress’ that features private entrances to ensure Kellen cannot be surprised with subpoenas.
Kellen told The Sun in 2020 that she had been falsely ‘made out to be such a monster’ and alleged to also be ‘victim of Jeffrey Epstein’. She said she was ‘raped and abused weekly’.

Trump, Clinton and the Duke of York are also among the high-profile individuals expected to be named in the document dump today.
It was previously revealed that all three had taken trips on Epstein’s private jet.
Trump took at least seven flights on the Lolita Express between 1993 and 1997, according to The New York Post. He was sometimes accompanied by members of his family.
The real estate mogul and Epstein were known associates at the time and often seen together at formal events.
Clinton has been photographed on the jet multiple times and reportedly took nine trips on the plane to destinations including Paris, Bangkok and Brunei.
He also hosted Epstein at the White House at least 17 times during his presidency.
The flight logs do not indicate that Trump or Clinton ever visited Epstein Island in the Caribbean, which served as the center of his international sex trafficking ring.
Neither Trump nor Clinton have been linked to any of Epstein’s crimes.
Andrew’s accuser Giuffre previously claimed she was forced to have sex with the Duke when she was 17 – allegations Andrew has vehemently and consistently denied. A civil lawsuit she brought in the US was settled out of court with no admission of wrongdoing by Andrew.

It was also previously revealed during Maxwell’s trial that Prince Andrew flew on the financier’s luxury fleet.
Epstein’s chief pilot told how he flew a string of VIPs including the Duke of York, Clinton and Trump.
The pilot said he was used to flying high-profile passengers but that he never encountered sexual activity aboard three jets he piloted for Epstein during roughly 1,000 trips between 1991 and 2019.
He told the trial that Epstein never warned him to stay in the cockpit during flights and also encouraged him to use a bathroom near the rear of the plane that would require him to walk past the aircraft’s couches.
The pilot also said that he never saw any children on his planes who were not accompanied by their parents.
The documents are part of a US defamation case Andrew’s accuser Virginia Roberts brought against Ghislaine Maxwell
Epstein was accused of sexually assaulting countless teenage girls, some as young as 14, at his homes in New York and Florida and on his private Caribbean island.
Judge Preska last month ruled that documents relating to more than 170 people who were either associates, friends or victims of multi-millionaire sex offender Epstein should be made public in early January.
Judge Preska gave those mentioned in the documents 14 days to formally object to the release of their names. Only a handful will remain secret – many of whom are minors or possible victims.
The first trove of documents was released in 2019, less than 48 hours before Epstein hanged himself in a New York jail while being held on child sex trafficking charges.
