Sarah Kellen And The 302 Interview With The FBI (5/24/26)

This FBI FD-302 memorializes a December 4, 2019 proffer interview with a heavily redacted woman who described both financial and sexual dimensions of her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. She told investigators that in late 2018, after financial stress connected to apartment renovations and after public reporting on Epstein had already intensified, she met Epstein at his New York residence and explained her financial situation. Epstein allegedly called his accountant Richard Kahn during the meeting and arranged for $250,000 to be wired to her, telling her not to tell anyone about the money. She also described receiving another large payment from Epstein, bringing the total to $350,000 between 2013 and 2018. The document also places Lesley Groff in the chain of contact, with the woman saying Groff told her to come meet Epstein if she was in New York. The woman said she did not initially connect the money to press scrutiny or the Miami Herald reporting, portraying Epstein’s payment as part of his broader pattern of financial control and “generosity,” though the timing is obviously significant.The most disturbing portion of the interview centers on the woman’s description of Epstein’s sexual control, coercion, and abuse across multiple locations, including Palm Beach, New York, Paris, New Mexico, and his island. She said Epstein directed her sexually, woke her by touching her, summoned her to sleep in his bed, dictated how she should touch him, controlled aspects of her appearance, and made her feel she had no meaningful choice. She described one Palm Beach gym encounter as an aggressive rape, saying Epstein turned the music up, closed the hurricane shutters, pulled down her pants, and had intercourse with her. She also placed Ghislaine Maxwell directly inside the sexual machinery, saying Maxwell was present during an early encounter, touched her, instructed her where and how to touch Epstein, made sexually explicit comments, and helped normalize Epstein’s demands. The interview also describes Maxwell’s broader household authority: approving bills, running Epstein’s homes, overseeing staff and logistics, and creating an environment where the woman felt isolated, ashamed, dependent, and unable to tell anyone because her friends, work, lawyers, housing, and relationships were all tied back to Epstein’s world.to contact me:[email protected]:EFTA01246595.pdf
