Summary

Kellen Testifies

Sarah Kellen testified before the U.S. House Oversight Committee on May 21, 2026, describing Jeffrey Epstein’s sexual abuse, choking and rape.
Prosecutors, noting that Sarah Kellen was named a co-conspirator in the September 24, 2007 non-prosecution agreement, declined to charge her, citing victim status.
Rep. James Comer (R-KY), Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi (D-IL) and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) each said the hearing was the toughest, the DOJ should reveal identities, and the women co-conspirators.

Summary

Groff Labeled

Lesley Groff, Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime secretary, was labeled a “potential co-conspirator” and is scheduled for a June interview.
A 2007 non-prosecution agreement shielded Lesley Groff, Adriana Ross and Nadia Marcinko from criminal charges.
Prosecutors noted that Jeffrey Epstein gave Kellen money for an apartment renovation after she left his circle.
The proposed 2020 charge for Jeffrey Epstein’s 2005 plane assault on Kellen was dropped after she received the co-conspirator label.
