00:01:50.120 --> 00:01:53.400
<v Speaker 1>some of the most important evidence implicating Epstein and others.

<v Speaker 1>the FBI that he observed countless females on Epstein's aircraft.

49
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:15.680

107
00:07:14.839 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>deposed by the House Oversight Committee investigating the Epstein case.

108
00:07:21.319 --> 00:07:23.959
<v Speaker 1>According to her testimony, she was born in North Carolina

109
00:07:24.120 --> 00:07:28.000
<v Speaker 1>in nineteen seventy nine. Maxwell recruited her for Epstein, and

110
00:07:28.120 --> 00:07:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Kellen has stated that Maxwell abused her. She was known

111
00:07:31.920 --> 00:07:34.959
<v Speaker 1>to have begun recruiting other women and girls for Epstein

112
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:39.399
<v Speaker 1>upon Beach Police Department investigation identified Kellen as central to

113
00:07:39.399 --> 00:07:42.639
<v Speaker 1>Epstein's operation and named her as a suspect in connection

114
00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:46.319
<v Speaker 1>with principle in the first degree for a lawful sexual

115
00:07:46.319 --> 00:07:50.759
<v Speaker 1>activity with a minor and lewd and lascivious molestation, although

116
00:07:50.759 --> 00:07:53.920
<v Speaker 1>only Epstein was named on the arrest warrant for those charges.

117
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.920
<v Speaker 1>Evidence against her included handwritten notes attributed to her, reading

00:07:58.920 --> 00:08:00.879
<v Speaker 1>I have girls for him and I have two girls

119
00:08:00.959 --> 00:08:05.079
<v Speaker 1>for him. Documents show that Kellen accompanied Epstein on three

120
00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:10.199

123
00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:22.439
<v Speaker 1>handwritten notes, and other evidence supported the Palm Beach Police

124
00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:27.800
<v Speaker 1>conclusion that Kellen helped Epstein arrange liaisons with girls. Kellen

125
00:08:27.879 --> 00:08:30.800
<v Speaker 1>was never criminally charged. She was granted immunity in the

00:09:36.200 --> 00:09:39.080
<v Speaker 1>depositions that he answered the door for young women who

142
00:09:39.159 --> 00:09:43.080
