How The Non-Prosecution Agreement Saved Sarah Kellen Vickers From Prosecution · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome back to the Epstein Chronicles.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Now that the grand jury documents are released and we
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: have been through just about all of the depositions, all
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of the information that's out there and available to us,
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: one of the questions that all of us have to
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: be left asking is how in the hell has Sarah
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: Kellan Vickers been able to avoid getting hemmed up? And
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: the reason, unfortunately, is because of the non-prosecution agreement that
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein's buddies, Mr. Mukasey and Mr. Philippe, decided to
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: sign off on after having several meetings with Jeffrey Epstein's
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: legal team. And that's not me telling you that. That's
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: directly from the OIG report. I mean, are we supposed
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: to think that they were just having these meetings for fun?
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: There's no way. These are busy people, right? They have
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: a lot going on. A full-ass schedule. They're not going
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to just meet for lunch to have a how-do-you-do kind
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: of conversation that they could have over the phone. They
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: were meeting in person for a reason. Now, I can't
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: tell you exactly what went down in those meetings. I
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: wasn't there. But I can tell you the results are bullshit.
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: And this non-prosecution agreement was enacted to protect Jeffrey Epstein
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: and not only Jeffrey Epstein, but all of his friends
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: down in Palm Beach and elsewhere who were playing ball
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: with him. And that's why this NPA was put in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: the way it was put in. That's why it was
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: worded the way it was worded. Again, you mean to
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: tell me that Acosta's bosses had no idea of the
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: language of the NPA? We know that's bullshit. We know
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that it was kicked up. We know that Sloman was
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: looking at it. We know that Osterbond was looking at it.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: So what are we even talking about here? And the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: sad truth is, most people who are out here talking
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: about this story don't even know who those people are.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: And if you don't know who those people are and
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: what their function was, then you're never going to truly
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: understand the scope of what went on here. And you're
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: going to continue running around talking about nonsense. And inevitably,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: those are the people that keep talking about lists and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: all the rest of it. When there's tangible, actual people
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: who are involved that we know about who still haven't
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: been held to account. Shouldn't we start with the people
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we know about for sure? People like Sarah Kellen Vickers? Well,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the problem is a lot of these people that were
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: involved down in Florida are protected by the NPA. So
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: it's very difficult to prosecute Epstein for anything that happened
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: in Florida because of that NPA. However, as we learn
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: with Ghislaine Maxwell, that NPA doesn't travel. You're not off
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the hook for what you might have done in New York.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: You're not off the hook for what you might have
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: done elsewhere. just in Florida, and there's a lot of
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: folks out there that don't even understand this basic concept.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: The NPA isn't a get-out-of-jail-free card across the country, but
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: it does serve that purpose down in Florida. Today's article
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: is from the Daily Mail, and the headline, Jeffrey Epstein's
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: former assistant, Sarah Kellen, dodges prosecution for sex trafficking, despite
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: allegedly being Ghislaine Maxwell's ex-right-hand woman. This article was authored
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: by Daniel Bates. Jeffrey Epstein's assistant, Sarah Kellan, has dodged
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: prosecution for sex trafficking, despite being repeatedly mentioned in the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: grand jury files from 2005. Not just the grand jury files.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Every single document we've read, Sarah Kellan Vickers has played
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: a prominent role. Yet somehow she's avoided prosecution, and not
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: only prosecution, she's avoided the limelight when it comes to
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein. She should be sharing a jail cell with
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Glenn Maxwell, as far as I'm concerned. Kellen was named
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: three times by Epstein's victims in the transcript of a
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: court hearing in Palm Beach, Florida during the original investigations
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: into the late pedophile sex trafficking ring. Victims, survivors, described
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: her greeting them at his now-raised seafront mansion and then
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: leading them upstairs to the massage room. So how in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the world is she not in trouble? Imagine this lady
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: is waiting for these kids when they show up there
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: to bring them up to this monster and she doesn't
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: end up going to jail, she doesn't end up getting
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: in trouble. Well, in fact, it's the polar opposite of
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: all of that. She's living her best life. Married to
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: her ex-NASCAR driver husband. You know, living in a high-rise,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: has multiple properties, traveling all around the world, doing whatever
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: she wants. Meanwhile, the rest of us are lucky that
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: we can pay our own bills. But if you were
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: a friend of Jeffrey Epstein's, and you were out here
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: helping him molest girls and, you know, do other disgusting,
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: dastardly things, well, you'll be rewarded by society. Once there,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Kellen set up the oils for the massage before Epstein
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: arrived and sexually assaulted or raped them. One victim described
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: how she contacted Kellen to make an appointment to see
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Epstein the first of hundreds of times she would go
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: to his house to be sexually assaulted. Also named repeatedly
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: was Nadia Marchenko, also known as Marcinkova, a model from
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: Eastern Europe whose victim said they had sex with at
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: Epstein's command. Let's not get carried away, okay? A model?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: from Eastern Europe, more like a 14-year-old girl who was
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: purchased by Jeffrey Epstein to be abused. Let's not get
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: it twisted, okay? You want to talk about being groomed?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You want to talk about Stockholm Syndrome? You want to
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: talk about somebody that was put in a situation that
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: is completely untenable? Well, we're talking about Nadia Marcinkova. And
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: whereas Sarah Kellen Vickers came into this with her eyes
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: wide open, Nadia Marcinkova was just a little kid who
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: was groomed and turned into this. And when I say
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: that there's levels to all of this, this is what
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: I mean. If you don't know what you're talking about
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: with this case, probably a good idea to just sit
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: down and shut up. Both women were named as co-conspirators
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: under Epstein's sweetheart plea deal with prosecutors in Palm Beach
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in 2008. Unsealed court documents allege Marchenko, who has never
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: been charged with any crime, procured young women for Epstein,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: a claim her lawyers have denied. But under the extraordinary
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: terms of the deal, they were exempt from prosecution. And again,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it was all built in. It was cakewalked in. So
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: this is exactly the result. They wanted to make sure
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that nobody was going to get rolled. And if you
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: start having people get arrested by the feds and the
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: feds start talking about 15, 20 years, stuff like that, well,
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: people are going to start to talk, right? People are
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: going to start to tell the government what the government
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: wants to hear so they don't have to go to
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: prison for 25 or 30 years. And that's why Jeffrey
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Epstein's lawyers baked this whole entire thing in to the
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: non-prosecution agreement. That way, nobody would talk to the feds,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: nobody would roll, and everybody would be protected. Imagine if
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: John Gotti got a deal like this. Another woman mentioned
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: in the grand jury files, which were released this week,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: was Ghislaine Maxwell, but she eventually did go on trial
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: and was found guilty in 2021 and is serving a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: 20-year prison sentence. An Epstein victim, Told DailyMail.com, I have
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: never understood why Sarah Kellen did not face prosecution. She
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: was deeply involved in Epstein's operation. She should face justice,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: just like Elaine Maxwell did. Facts. She should. But the
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: problem is, if they don't have anything to pin on her,
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: that's of consequence outside of Florida, then they're screwed. Because
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: in Florida, she has carte blanche, folks. I hate to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: be the one to tell you, but that's how this works.
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: If you sign that 302- and you proffer up that information,
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: or you're protected by an NPA, then you're protected in
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: whatever district you sign that document in. So when it
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: comes to Sarah Kellen Vickers, unless we can nail her
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: on something somewhere else, she's going to have carte blanche.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: And people don't want to hear that, but I'm sorry,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: it's the truth. And if you want to be mad
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: at somebody, well, don't even be mad at Acosta, because
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: he was just another tool. If you want to be mad,
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: be mad at the bosses at the DOJ who allowed
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: this to all go down. We're talking about Mukasey, and
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: we're talking about Philippe. Those are the dudes that were
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: at the sticks. They were in charge, and if you're
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: the boss, well, the buck stops with you. In the
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: 176 pages of grand jury transcripts and testimony from Joseph Ricari,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: the late Palm Beach police detective, who was one of
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: the main officers investigating Epstein. He told the court that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: he interviewed one girl, who had just graduated from high school,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: and said she sent six others to Epstein. Based on
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: her claiming she was like Heidi Fleiss, the notorious Hollywood madam,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: she appears to be Haley Robson. Yeah, that's exactly who
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: it is. The girl said that she first met Epstein
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: when she was 17, and was taken to his house,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: where she met a woman called Sarah, who appears to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: be Kellan. Rakari said that the girl told him she
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: was taken to the house. She was introduced to Epstein's
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: assistant by the name of Sarah. Sarah would then escort
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: her upstairs, prepare the room for massage by putting out
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: the ointments and the different oils. So you can see
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: why she had to be part of the non-prosecution agreement.
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think you could be any more involved than
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Sarah Kellen was. And you want to talk about really
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: avoiding the hangman's noose? Sarah Kellen really avoided some serious
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: trouble here. And again, it all goes back to that
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: bullshit-ass NPA. When the girl refused Epstein's advances, he told
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: her that he would pay her to bring other girls
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: to him. Epstein said the younger the better, Ricari told
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the grand jury. Perhaps the most disturbing account came from
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: one victim who said she began going to Epstein's aged
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: 16 and went there hundreds of times. The victim identified
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Sarah Kellen by her full name and said she led
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: her up to the massage room where Epstein began to
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: masturbate at her. Ricari said she recalled that the appointment
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: was set up for that day. They, the victim, contacted Mr.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Epstein's assistant, Sarah, later identified as Sarah Kellen, where the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: appointment was made. She, the victim, was taken to the house.
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: She remembered it. It was on the weekend because she
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: only worked on the weekends as she was still going
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: to high school. According to the victim, she was forced
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: to take part in a threesome or threesomes with Nadia
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Marcinkova who Epstein is said to have bought from her
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: parents when she was a child. 14. Epstein referred to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: her as his Yugoslavian sex slave, although she was actually
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: born in Slovakia, part of the former Czechoslovakia. Epstein persuaded
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the teen to give oral sex to Marcinko during a
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: threesome by offering her another $ 200 if she did it
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: for five minutes. She said, The victim had been told
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: Epstein would never penetrate her as he had a deformed penis,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: but one time he grabbed her and placed her head
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: on the massage table and inserted his penis into her vagina.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: According to the victim, Nadia bought sex toys for them
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: to use as a present for Epstein's birthday one year.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: Another victim 18 also named Nadia while recounting how she
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: was abused by Epstein at the age of 16. She
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: was paid $ 200 each visit and one time he asked
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: her to touch Nadia's breasts, which she did. A third
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: victim identified Kellen and described being introduced to Epstein's assistant
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: called Sarah. Ricari said the stories were consistent with all
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the girls. He said they would be introduced to the
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: assistant who would lead her upstairs and prepare the room
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: for the massage in the master bathroom area. She would
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: pull a blanket out over the massage tables and provide
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: the ointments that Mr. Epstein would like to have used.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: In the case of the victim, who was 16, she
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: was paid $ 300 for her first visit, and then each
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: follow-up visit became more and more sexual. Kellen has previously
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: denied any wrongdoing and said that she is not a monster.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Her parents have previously said that she was vulnerable when
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: she met Epstein, having become estranged from them when she
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was 18 because she stopped being a Jehovah's Witness, the
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: religion her mother and father follow. Her parents, Thomas and
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: Mary Kellen, told DailyMail.com in 2020 that that they feared
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: that she was brainwashed and somebody might kill her. After
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: leaving Epstein's orbit, Kellen married NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, and
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: the two live in an apartment in New York. Calls
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: to Kellen were not immediately returned. The other two women
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: who were named as co-conspirators in Epstein's 2008 plea deal,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: Leslie Groff and Adriana Ross, have also denied wrongdoing. Well, folks, look,
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the whole deal here with Kellen is the fact that
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: this NPA was signed down in Florida. This is where
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: her alleged crimes were committed. And considering that, she's not
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: going to be prosecuted anywhere else unless they have the
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: goods on her somewhere else. So if they have the
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: goods on her in New York, there's no reason for
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: them not to prosecute her. Unless, of course, they're scared
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: of what she'll say. But as far as prosecuting her
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: or anyone who might have been involved with Jeffrey Epstein
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: down in Florida, forget it. The NPA is going to
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: protect them. And unfortunately, it looks like Sarah Kellan... is
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: going to skate here, and that she's never going to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: be held to account for what she obviously was up to.
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: So I'm not shocked in the least to see that
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Sarah Kellan Vickers is still swimming with her head above water,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: and unfortunately, I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
• 12:57

• 13:00
  Speaker 1: be found in the description box.
