Overview
- House transcripts released Sunday show Sarah Kellen testified that she and Jeffrey Epstein attended an evening dinner in Prince Andrew’s private apartment at Buckingham Palace and that she attended Princess Beatrice’s 18th birthday at Windsor Castle.
- Kellen presents herself as a long-term victim who denies being a principal accomplice to Epstein and says she was subjected to repeated sexual abuse and control over more than a decade.
- In the testimony Kellen accuses Ghislaine Maxwell of humiliating and physically directing her to fulfill Epstein’s sexual demands and describes Maxwell as a central figure in facilitating Epstein’s behavior.
- Contemporaneous photographs reported by outlets and cited in the coverage are said to show Epstein and Maxwell at the 2006 Windsor event, and Kellen also alleges Epstein met foreign figures on trips including a claimed encounter in Cuba.
- Epstein is deceased and Maxwell is imprisoned, Prince Andrew denies wrongdoing, and multiple police forces are conducting investigations that the newly published material could inform and that may lead to further witness interviews or evidence reviews.
