Sarah Kellen Jeffrey Epstein During Ghislaine Maxwell's sex trafficking sentencing hearing in June 2022, U.S. District Judge Alison Nathan identified NASCAR wife Sarah Kellen as "a knowing participant in the criminal conspiracy" and stated she was "a criminally responsible participant."
Kellen has yet to speak publicly, but started working for Jeffrey Epstein when she was aged in her early-20s
She was the lieutenant of the convicted child sex trafficker, Ghislaine Maxwell
At just 17, she married a man from the Jahovah’s Witness Church & moved to Hawaii
In 2013, she married the three-time NASCAR champion, Brian Vickers
Despite this characterization, Kellen has not been charged with any crimes related to Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme. She has described herself as a victim of Epstein's abuse, asserting she was "raped and abused weekly." The reasons for the lack of charges against Kellen remain unclear.
The defendant (Maxwell) was Epstein’s No. 2 and the lady of the house,” Judge Nathan said, referring to Maxwell. “At some point, Kellen took over some of the defendant’s duties. But even after that time, the defendant retained her leadership position, as evidenced by Carolyn’s testimony.”
On January 9, 2022: Kate Briquelet from The Daily Beast interviewed Epstein victims’ attorney Brad Edwards.
He said this about Kellen: “Sarah is the easiest person to get whether she testifies or not, and yet she’s holding out hope that somebody will forget about her,” Edwards added.
“To me, the best way for her to be forgotten is to be remembered as the person who grew a conscience at some point in time and turned around and helped.
He added: “The way that I see it is: Sarah has been given dozens if not hundreds of chances to potentially reposition herself in this narrative.
“You’re either on the side of the victims or the other side, which is the side of the bad guys.”
Edwards said while Kellen has never aided victims’ civil lawsuits, he plans to file new ones.
Witnesses at the trial testified that as children, Kellen scheduled sexualised sex abuse massages with the financier/money launderer.
To date, Kellen has not helped law enforcement (as far as we know) and has rarely spoken about her time with Epstein.
Sarah Kellen From Jehovah Witness to Epstein: She today flits between a New York penthouse, North Carolina and two Miami luxury apartments, a far cry from her past as a Jahovah’s Witness cast-out and Epstein boss.
Since leaving the employment of pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, the 43-year-old, who greeted countless girls at the door of his Palm Beach mansion, continues living a life of luxury.
Sarah Kellen, an unindicted Epstein co-conspirator, divides her time living in two Miami penthouses with her husband, a former NASCAR driver.
She is living the high life and her latest property purchase with spouse Brian Vickers is a breathtaking apartment in The Continuum on South Beach.

Plus the couple also share another $5million penthouse in Soho, New York City. They live in a two-bedroom in the Mercer Greene building, where Mr Vickers is president of the condo board.
According to neighbours, there are constant renovations underway inside the penthouse.
Tara Palmerie in Politico wrote earlier this year about the long-standing role Kellen played in the Epstein operation.
“It’s Kellen whom Courtney Wild, 33, remembers most vividly from the day she first walked through Epstein’s doors in Palm Beach in 2002. Wild was just 14, still in middle school with a mouth full of braces. To her, Kellen’s friendliness made the situation seem normal, ” she wrote.
“You’re 14 years old and you go to a mansion, and then Sarah Kellen—I mean, she’s a beautiful woman, too, she’s very nice, you know—escorts me upstairs,” Wild said in an interview. “It’s weird. But I just kind of went with the flow of what everybody else was doing.”
Moreover, during a raid on Epstein’s house in 2005, police found phone logs, signed by Sarah Kellen, with the names of teenagers who were called for ”work.”
Epstein essentially was running an enterprise at Royal Palm Beach High School.
“Wild was living in a trailer park at the time with a mother who struggled with addiction. She told meshe feared she would become homeless without the money she was earning from Epstein,” Palmerie wrote.
Wild told Palmerie ”it’s upsetting for her to hear that Kellen calls herself a victim. “How could you do this?” she said tearily. “She was over the age of 21 … so I feel like she was in a state of mind to make good and bad decisions, and she repeatedly made the wrong decision.”

In discussing the scope of Maxwell’s role in Epstein’s sex-trafficking scheme, Judge Alison Nathan described Kellen as “a knowing participant in the criminal conspiracy” and said she was “a criminally responsible participant.”

How did Sarah go from a teen bride from North Carolina to working around the world for the pervert Epstein?
The now-NASCAR wife is pictured below at her 2010 Florida deposition stemming from legal action relating to Epstein’s crimes in Palm Beach, Florida.
During a testimony in a defamation court case, a butler, Renaldo Rizzo, who worked for billionaires Eva Dubin and Glenn Dubin, alleges:
“She (a 15-year-old girl) just lets it rip, and what she told me was unbelievable,” Rizzo testified.
“She proceeded to tell my wife and I… ‘I was on the island and there was Ghislaine, and there was Sarah (Kellen),’ and she said, ‘They asked me for sex. I said no.’”

The butler later clarified, “She didn’t specify who asked for sex. She said they asked for sex.”
Rizzo testified that when she refused to have sex, Sarah Kellen took her phone and passport and gave them to Maxwell. “And at that point, she said she was threatened,” he said.
Sarah Kellen Jeffrey Epstein In her latest personal reinvention, it looks like Sarah Kellen is claiming she’s a cult victim.
We found some new information recently concerning the alleged Jeffrey Epstein coconspirator via her husband Brian Vickers’ website.
It may show her defence has recently taken on this mind control element, as she has previously told the media she was a victim of Epstein.
Her husband is the three-time NASCAR champ Brian Vickers. He supports charities in the justice area. One is even a cult information group, the Foundation Against Cult Threats.
According to husband Brian Vickers: “Justice and prison reform are very important to my wife and I. We have both been wrongfully accused of things in our personal and professional life before, so this always resonated for us.”
He adds: “Even outside of the justice system, in general, I would say that society’s shift towards a mentality of “guilty until proven innocent” is wrong and very dangerous. You see this sometimes inside the justice system but the justice system also has other systemic problems.”

In the newly updated section of Vickers’ website, he has added FACT, The Sunny Centre and APJ to the list of organisations he supports.
Before the Epstein story broke in 2019 , Sarah Kellen was publicising her skills as an interior designer.
Her company, SLK Designs, had projects in New York, the Caribbean, Palm Beach, and the Caribbean.
In other words, her main client was probably Epstein. In our opinion. She also had two other names over the years – Sarah Bonk and Sara Kensington.
She has sported different hair colours and lived in multiple cities to attempt to reinvent herself.

What we would like to ask Sarah Kellen
We contacted Sarah’s public relations representative in 2021 to ask the following questions. Unfortunately, this person said they no longer worked for Kellen.
These are our questions we would like her to answer:
Hello Tracy,
We are journalists from Bolton St Productions in Australia and we have been podcasting on the Jeffrey Epstein case for almost two years.
As reporters, we are seeking to understand Sarah’s situation with Jeffrey Epstein. We want to go beyond the one-dimensional portrayal of Sarah, as we did this week on our show with alleged coconspirator Lesley Groff.
To this end, we have put together some questions for Sarah in the hope she may answer them. Moreover, we understand that revisiting these issues can be hard but she may wish to challenge some of the public misconceptions.
