Named 80 Times, Charged Zero Times: How Sarah Kellen Haunted the Ghislaine Maxwell Trial · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. One of the most confounding situations when it
• 0:08
  comes to the arrest of Jeffrey Epstein and Glenn Maxwell
• 0:12
  is the fact that Sarah Kelln Vickers somehow avoided not
• 0:17
  only being convicted, but she was never even indicted, at
• 0:21
  least that we know about. And when you put all
• 0:25
  the facts together and you look at all the circumstances
• 0:27
  surrounding the investigation and the evidence provided by the girls
• 0:32
  who were actually abused and the other people that were around,
• 0:35
  I have zero idea how Sarah Kellen is still a
• 0:38
  free woman, because if you're looking for co conspirators, in
• 0:42
  my opinion, she's it. Today we have an article from
• 0:47
  Delhimel and this article was originally published on March fourth,
• 0:51
  twenty twenty five, headline Jeffrey Epstein left wads of cash,
• 0:56
  stuffed and envelopes for top recruiter Sarah Kellen, raising new
• 1:00
  questions of why she was never charged. This article was
• 1:04
  authored by Daniel Bates. Jeffrey Epstein's top recruiter has been
• 1:08
  dragged back into the spotlight after newly unsealed evidence document
• 1:12
  show the convicted pedophile seemed to have left her with
• 1:16
  large amounts of cash in an envelope. Among some of
• 1:20
  the Epstein files released by Attorney General Pambondi in March
• 1:24
  was an evidence list suggesting the disgraced financier Pedophile had
• 1:29
  set aside twenty one thousand dollars for Sarah Kellen in
• 1:32
  two thousand and eight. The Daily Mail can reveal, Yeah,
• 1:35
  hush money. She was part of the operation. You know,
• 1:38
  when we're going through all those core documents and it
• 1:41
  says this one was with Epstein all the time and
• 1:43
  the names are redacted, that's Sarah Kellen Vickers. The vast
• 1:47
  majority of those redactions are protecting her name. And it's wild,
• 1:52
  isn't it. I was under the impression that the only
• 1:56
  people that were going to be protected were actual victims
• 2:00
  of Jeffrey Epstein. Unfortunately, like usual, we've been lied to.
• 2:05
  Kellen was known as Epstein's longtime assistant and alleged recruiter
• 2:09
  of young girls in his sex trafficking operation, and has
• 2:12
  been accused in multiple lawsuits of arranging massages and escorting
• 2:16
  underage girls to the room where they were abused. She's
• 2:20
  been called out in actual court. We've had judges call
• 2:23
  her out, We've had lawyers call her out, We've had
• 2:26
  survivors call her out, We've had FBI agents call her out,
• 2:30
  and somehow Ms Teflon finds a way to shrug it
• 2:33
  all off and keep it moving. She was given immunity
• 2:38
  during Epstein's first criminal case, which sawm strike a controversial
• 2:41
  plea deal that year and resulted in him serving a
• 2:45
  fifteen month sentence. The evidence records included in the newly
• 2:49
  released trove of documents show a list of over one
• 2:52
  hundred and fifty items, including photos, hard drives, sex toys,
• 2:57
  and two envelopes labeled s K, presumably Kellen's initials containing
• 3:02
  cash payments. Well, they don't want to have a money trail, right,
• 3:07
  much better off giving her cash. And I'm sure that
• 3:10
  Darren Indike's the one that pulled that cash out of
• 3:13
  the bank. Now Can I prove that? No, but it
• 3:16
  seems most likely to me. One envelope containing seventeen thousand,
• 3:22
  one hundred and fifteen dollars was dated August twenty seventh,
• 3:25
  two thousand and eight, just weeks after Epstein signed the
• 3:29
  deal and when Kellen's loyalty would have been paramount. Yeah,
• 3:33
  the whole entire thing was to make sure she didn't talk,
• 3:37
  to make sure that Jeffrey Epstein stayed insulated. He not
• 3:40
  only paid off his core four, but I think, as
• 3:43
  the facts have pointed out and shown us, he also
• 3:47
  manipulated the whole situation in Florida to get himself that deal.
• 3:51
  Whether you want to believe it was a federal government
• 3:53
  that was that fault or the local government that was
• 3:56
  that fault, I'm telling you right now, something stinks down
• 3:59
  in Beach and there's no way on this planet or
• 4:02
  any other that Jeffrey Epstein's co conspirator is named and unnamed,
• 4:08
  should be protected by any sort of NPA. Lawyers claim
• 4:14
  that Kellen saw herself as the boss, and during Maxwell's
• 4:18
  sentencing for child sex trafficking in twenty twenty two, and
• 4:21
  Judge Nathan pointedly said that Kellen was annoying participant who
• 4:25
  was criminally responsible, Like how does that happen? You have
• 4:29
  people sitting in jail right now or in prison for
• 4:32
  possession of drugs or something minor. Then you have Sarah
• 4:37
  Kellen Vickers, who was called out by a judge in
• 4:40
  the middle of a human trafficking in child abuse case,
• 4:43
  and she's walking free. There's nobody else to investigate. We
• 4:47
  have no other co conspirators. And for me, this is
• 4:51
  one of the most frustrating parts of the whole thing,
• 4:54
  the fact that they tell us one thing when we
• 4:56
  know that it's a lie and that the other thing
• 4:58
  is true and sound. That part is there's enough people
• 5:01
  out there that are licking them boots that they'll just
• 5:03
  continue to do it. And over the past what six
• 5:07
  eight months or so, I think the wool has been
• 5:10
  completely pulled off of people's eyes. All the people that
• 5:12
  ran around talking about, oh, I'm a patriot, hanging Gadsden flags,
• 5:17
  the rest of it, they've all been exposed. First it
• 5:20
  was about Epstein, and now it's about people getting gunned
• 5:23
  down in the streets of America without due process by
• 5:27
  some jack booted thugs. And all these people that talk
• 5:29
  about freedom and liberty and about how they're here to
• 5:32
  defend this one or that one, not only are they silent,
• 5:36
  but they cheer it on. So keeping it a bean,
• 5:39
  whatever sort of politics that is, I want nothing to
• 5:42
  do with that unless it's absolutely dismantling it. Because anybody
• 5:46
  who defends Jeffrey Epstein or cheers on citizens getting gunned
• 5:50
  down by federal agents in the street are certainly not
• 5:53
  my people, and I would go so far as to
• 5:55
  say people like that are dangerous to the republic. Maxwell
• 5:59
  is currently serving a twenty year sentence. The apparent references
• 6:03
  to Kellen forty five appear in the evidence list released
• 6:06
  last week, which appears to have been prepared for Maxwell's
• 6:10
  twenty twenty one trial. Maxwell was arrested after Epstein hanged
• 6:14
  himself in twenty nineteen after being arrested on child sex
• 6:18
  trafficking charges, and, much to the frustration of Epstein's victims,
• 6:23
  remains the only person in his orbit to face charges.
• 6:27
  If you even want to call it that now, as
• 6:29
  she hangs out at Camp Brian, eating Chick fil A
• 6:32
  and giggling with Todd Blanche, I mean, if you want
• 6:35
  to call that doing time, I guess. But as far
• 6:37
  as other people that should be serving time, without a doubt,
• 6:41
  Without a doubt, the Core of four and Darren Endyke
• 6:46
  and Richard Kahn come to mind right away. All those
• 6:49
  people should have been investigated, They all should have been indicted,
• 6:52
  and in my opinion, they all should have been convicted.
• 6:54
  Plenty of evidence This has never been about a lack
• 6:57
  of evidence. It's always been about a lack of courage.
• 7:03
  Among the items on the list is one which described
• 7:06
  as one heat sealed bag containing one yellow envelope marked SK,
• 7:10
  dated A twenty seven eight, containing multiple smaller envelopes containing
• 7:15
  seventeen thousand, one hundred and fifteen US dollars, one hundred
• 7:19
  and fifty two one hundred dollar bills, thirty five fifties,
• 7:23
  four twenties, six tens, and five fives. Another envelope appears
• 7:29
  to date back to two thousand. It's described as one
• 7:32
  heat sealed bag containing one small white envelope with writing
• 7:36
  two thousand SK, containing forty four hundred USC forty four
• 7:41
  one hundred dollar bills. The evidence list does not explain
• 7:44
  why the money was still in the envelopes years later,
• 7:47
  but the one from two thousand and eight appears to
• 7:50
  be significant, as that is the year that Epstein signed
• 7:54
  his Plea deal, and that, of course is the plea
• 7:57
  deal down in Florida the first time around, the one
• 7:59
  that gave Sarah Kellen the protection. But as we know,
• 8:03
  that Plea deal that NPA doesn't protect anybody in New
• 8:06
  York or other districts only in Florida. So what are
• 8:09
  they waiting for in New York? What are they waiting
• 8:12
  for in New Mexico? What are they waiting for in
• 8:15
  the USBI? That's the question we should all be asking.
• 8:21
  Two months earlier, in June of two thousand and eight,
• 8:23
  in the state court, he admitted to one count of
• 8:25
  solicitation a prostitution and one count of solicitation of prostitution
• 8:30
  with a minor under the age of eighteen. Epstein was
• 8:33
  jailed for eighteen months, followed by a year of house arrest,
• 8:37
  and was ordered to register as a sex offender. Well,
• 8:42
  not New Mexico. And I remember in New York they
• 8:44
  tried to argue that he was lower of a level
• 8:46
  of an offender, and the judge pretty much laughed them
• 8:49
  out of the courtroom. But they sure tried to argue it,
• 8:52
  didn't they The following month, Epstein's victims found out about
• 8:57
  the plea after the fact and filed a urgency petition
• 9:01
  to force federal prosecutors to abide by the Crime Victim's
• 9:04
  Rights Act, which requires them to be informed about such
• 9:08
  plea agreements and appear at sentencing. The payment for Kellen
• 9:13
  was marked for the following month, a time when her
• 9:16
  loyalty to Epstein would have been paramount forum. That's especially
• 9:20
  the case given how central her role allegedly was in
• 9:24
  the sex trafficking operation. I don't even think it's alleged
• 9:28
  when you have a judge saying it at open court
• 9:31
  and you have all of these survivors saying the same thing.
• 9:34
  I mean, I guess you can believe Sarah Kellen Vickers
• 9:36
  if you want to give her the benefit of the doubt,
• 9:39
  not me. I don't believe her for a second. Kellen
• 9:43
  has attracted a particular scorn from Epstein's survivors because she
• 9:46
  was in her twenties when she allegedly helped traffic young girls,
• 9:50
  which in their view makes her more culpable than if
• 9:52
  she was closer to their age. Before the Maxwell trial,
• 9:56
  there was speculation that Kellen would give evidence to the
• 9:59
  prosecute u san not least to avoid being arrested herself.
• 10:04
  She did not end up testifying, but was mentioned to
• 10:07
  staggering eighty one times in the first two weeks the
• 10:10
  length of the prosecution's case. Think about that eighty one
• 10:15
  times mentioned in Glene Maxwell's case. Never been indicted, never
• 10:20
  been sat down as we know, and certainly never been
• 10:24
  arrested for her obvious role in Jeffrey Epstein's enterprise. So
• 10:29
  the question is why. Epstein's former Pombeach housekeeper, Wan Alessi,
• 10:35
  said that at the end of his time working there,
• 10:37
  Kellen began working for Epstein. He left in two thousand
• 10:40
  and two. He said that Kellen immediately took over the telephone,
• 10:44
  answering the phone, and I guess I think she did
• 10:47
  the scheduling of the massages. During victim Carolyn Andreano's core testimony,
• 10:52
  she said that for the first year or two, Maxwell
• 10:55
  had called to schedule her more than one hundred massages
• 10:59
  that she gave Epstein between the ages of fourteen and eighteen.
• 11:03
  After that, Kellen contacted her. In my opinion, Kellen should
• 11:08
  have the same sentence as Maxwell. At the very least,
• 11:12
  she led these girls right into the belly of the beast,
• 11:15
  and then she walked away from it to live her
• 11:17
  high flying lifestyle with her NASCAR husband. Yeah. Sure has
• 11:21
  a lot of justice in the world, isn't there. Carolyn
• 11:25
  testified that Kellen took nude photos of her at Epstein's
• 11:28
  house after the pedophile offered her six hundred dollars for
• 11:31
  the images. Evidence not shown to the jury included flight
• 11:35
  logs which show that Kellen flew three hundred and fifty
• 11:38
  times on Epstein's private jet known as Lolita Express, and
• 11:42
  has been seen in photographs on the private island in
• 11:45
  the Caribbean. Epstein's survivor, Sarah Ransom, has told The New
• 11:50
  York Times that it was Glaine and Sarah Kellen that
• 11:53
  showed me how to please Jeffrey. In their memo ahead
• 11:56
  of the Maxwell sentencing, prosecutor said Kellen joined the conspiracy
• 12:01
  when Maxwell was still second in command under Epstein. Given
• 12:05
  Maxwell's role in the household and in the conspiracy, she
• 12:08
  certainly exercised authority over Kellen. The clear inference from this
• 12:13
  record is that Maxwell instructed Kellen regarding how to schedule
• 12:16
  massages and run the part of the scheme that Maxwell
• 12:19
  had previously handled, at which point Kellen switched to making
• 12:23
  calls to schedule appointments following Maxwell's directions, Maxwell just handed
• 12:29
  off the baton. She moved to a different level. Right.
• 12:32
  She was the underboss, Sarah Kellen. She was one of
• 12:36
  the capos, one of the lieutenants, and that's exactly how
• 12:39
  the structure was just like the Mafia. Kellen is now
• 12:43
  married to NASCAR driver turned investor Brian Vickers forty one,
• 12:47
  and has rebranded herself as an interior designer under the
• 12:51
  name Sarah Kensington. She and her husband reside in a
• 12:54
  five point three million dollar penthouse in the trendy Soho
• 12:58
  area of Manhattan. They bought it in two thousand and seven,
• 13:02
  and it's unclear how Kellen was able to afford the property.
• 13:06
  In addition to their property in New York, the couple
• 13:08
  own a stunning one bedroom condo in Miami with a
• 13:11
  large balcony that has sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean.
• 13:16
  After being approached by a journalist in twenty twenty, Kellen
• 13:20
  reportedly said, I've been made out to be such a monster,
• 13:23
  but it's not true. Eh, I don't believe that. I
• 13:26
  think you're a monster, and I think it's all true
• 13:29
  And just a note. She's divorced from her husband Brian.
• 13:31
  Now I wonder why she went on I'm a victim
• 13:37
  of Jeffrey Epstein. I was raped and abused weekly. A
• 13:41
  lawsuit filed by a woman who appeared to be Kellen,
• 13:43
  claimed that she was abused for three years, starting when
• 13:47
  she was fourteen, and going through financial difficulties. In an
• 13:51
  exclusive interview with The Daily Mail, Kellen's parents said she
• 13:54
  was groomed and manipulated after growing up in a devout
• 13:58
  religious household and then falling out with them. Here's my
• 14:01
  problem with all of that. If that happened the second
• 14:05
  he got arrested, you should have come forward and you
• 14:07
  should have said, look, this is the deal. I didn't
• 14:10
  want to do this. I was groomed, I was abused.
• 14:12
  She didn't do that right, so please spare me on
• 14:17
  A Facebook page for Kellen's interior design company is still up,
• 14:21
  but the comments left by visitors are blunt. One reads,
• 14:25
  I can't wait to see how you'll decorate your apartment
• 14:28
  in prison. Neither Kellen nor Vickers responded to calls asking
• 14:33
  for comment, and they're not going to. But look, folks,
• 14:36
  my point here, and the reason I even bothered with
• 14:38
  this article, is because Sarah Kellen Vickers needs to answer
• 14:42
  some questions and she needs to do it under oath.
• 14:45
  So if the DOJ won't do it, then Congress should
• 14:48
  step up and they should send her a subpoena and
• 14:51
  bring her and the Core four in put them under
• 14:54
  oath and let's see what they have to say. Because
• 14:58
  one thing's for damn sure, Free Epstein and Glenn Maxwell
• 15:02
  weren't working alone. All of the information that goes with
• 15:07
