Documents reveal Epstein's damage control efforts as new abuse allegations surface.

Jeffrey Epstein's longtime assistant, Sarah Kellen, recently provided significant testimony to the House Oversight Committee, shedding new light on the late financier's network and bringing fresh abuse allegations to the forefront. During a closed-door interview in May 2026, Kellen identified three previously undisclosed individuals as alleged abusers connected to Epstein's illicit activities, a development committee chairman James Comer hailed as a crucial lead in the ongoing investigation.

In her powerful testimony, Kellen vehemently denied being an accomplice in Epstein's crimes, instead asserting that she was a victim herself, subjected to over a decade of sexual and psychological abuse by Epstein. She described a long period of grooming, manipulation, and control, enduring weekly and often violent abuse, which underscores the complex and often contentious roles of individuals within Epstein's orbit as the legal fallout continues to unfold. This testimony, alongside other newly revealed documents from the broader Epstein files, contributes to the ongoing efforts to fully comprehend and manage the extensive damage caused by his operations.

The surfacing of these new allegations and names, including Frederic Fekkai, Philip Levine, and the late Patrick Demarchelier as accused by Kellen, intensifies the scrutiny on those associated with Epstein. While Kellen accused Fekkai and Levine of sexual assault and testified Demarchelier exposed himself to her, representatives for Fekkai have denied the allegations, and none of the men have been charged in connection with Epstein's crimes. The committee plans to release a transcript of Kellen's interview, further detailing the revelations and contributing to the public's understanding of this complex case.
