Sarah Kellen, a former assistant to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is scheduled to testify before the House Oversight Committee, detailing the abuse she suffered and the control Epstein exerted over her life.According to her opening statement, obtained by legal analyst Lisa Rubin, Kellen experienced sexual abuse from Epstein even while he was jailed.She recounts being forced to undress for him during video calls from the Palm Beach County stockade.

Kellen emphasizes that Epstein manipulated influential figures worldwide, attending events with global leaders, including former presidents and royalty, which amplified his power and made it nearly impossible for victims to resist or seek justice.

She also highlights that Epstein's legal arrangements, such as the 2008 Florida plea deal, were used to silence co-conspirators and prevent victims from cooperating with law enforcement.

Kellen describes her experience as living with a 'permanent virtual reality headset,' underscoring the pervasive control and psychological trauma imposed by Epstein.Her testimony sheds light on the ongoing impact of Epstein’s abuse and the systemic failures that allowed it to continue.
