Sarah Kellen Names 3 Men in House Testimony, Opening New Epstein Abuse Leads
11 articles · Updated · CNN · May 22
House investigators are examining new allegations after former Epstein assistant Sarah Kellen told the Oversight Committee that Frederic Fekkai and Philip Levine sexually assaulted her and Patrick Demarchelier exposed himself.
James Comer called Kellen’s interview the committee’s most substantive yet and said the accusations gave lawmakers fresh leads they had not previously known about; a transcript is expected to be released.
Kellen said the alleged assaults by Fekkai and Levine happened in the early 2000s, before and during her time around Epstein, and testified that Demarchelier introduced her to Epstein as a supposed modeling scout.
Fekkai, through a representative, flatly denied wrongdoing; Levine had earlier said he met Epstein only a few times and regretted it. Demarchelier died in 2022, and none of the three men has been charged.
Justice Department files reviewed by CNN show years of ties between Epstein and both Fekkai and Levine, while Kellen—once viewed by law enforcement as a potential co-conspirator—told lawmakers Epstein groomed and controlled her.
As new allegations from the Epstein era surface, will statutes of limitation shield the powerful accused from justice?
