DEPOSITION OF SARAH KELLEN Named Co-Conspirator — Giuffre v. Maxwell

Sarah Kellen (now Sarah Kellen Vickers) was deposed in the Giuffre v. Maxwell civil case. Named as a potential co-conspirator in the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement, Kellen invoked her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to virtually every substantive question.

BACKGROUND: Kellen served as Epstein's executive assistant and personal scheduler. Multiple victims described her as playing a key role in organizing and scheduling encounters between Epstein and underage girls. She managed Epstein's daily calendar, answered phones at his residences, and was described in victim testimony as directing girls to the massage room upon arrival.

FIFTH AMENDMENT INVOCATIONS: Throughout the deposition, Kellen declined to answer questions about: — Her duties at Epstein's residences — Her knowledge of Epstein's activities with minors — Her role in scheduling and coordinating visits — Communications with Epstein, Maxwell, and other associates — Her awareness of payments to young women

IMMUNITY: Kellen was granted immunity under the 2008 Non-Prosecution Agreement, which protected not only Epstein but all named and unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. Despite this immunity from criminal prosecution, the Fifth Amendment protection remained available in civil proceedings.

Kellen has never been criminally charged. In public statements, she has asserted that she was also a victim of Epstein's manipulation.
