A woman from New York who has been accused of acting as a “lieutenant” for the disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is speaking out this week to claim that she is actually a victim of the late billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein as well.
“I’ve been made out to be such a monster — but it’s not true,” Kellen told The Sun as she stood outside her $4.5 million home in New York. “I’m a victim of Jeffrey Epstein. I was raped and abused weekly.”
Kellen spent at least a decade working as Epstein’s personal assistant, and she has been named in various lawsuits as the second in command behind Maxwell, who has been accused of being Epstein’s madam. Some lawsuits even go so far as to say that Kellen was Maxwell’s “lieutenant” within Epstein’s sordid empire.
Lawsuits have accused Kellen, who is now married to NASCAR driver Brian Vickers, of keeping lists of young women to recruit as “massage therapists” for Epstein. She has also been accused of booking travel for them and even taking them to Epstein’s room, where they were abused.
Though Kellen has never been charged with any crime, her own parents have admitted that they fear that she may be arrested in a promised sweep of accused Epstein enablers, according to the New York Post.
Maxwell is currently in prison awaiting trial on various charges related to her grooming young girls for sex with Epstein, and sometimes participating in the abuse herself. Epstein killed himself in prison last year while awaiting trial on various sex charges of his own. Maxwell, 58, was arrested this past July and was remanded to prison until trial after a judge deemed her to pose a significant flight risk given her immense wealth and international connections. Her trial has been scheduled to begin in July of 2021.
Maxwell has tried and failed to keep various other depositions detailing her sex life sealed. The most recent deposition to be unsealed was that of Epstein’s former butler John “Juan” Alessi, who claimed to have seen Maxwell taking photos of underage girls.
“I know that she went out and took pictures in the pool, because later I would see them at the desk or at the house; and nude, 99.9 percent of the time they were topless,” Alessi testified.
