About

Trial testimony described Sarah Kellen as an employee or assistant associated with Jeffrey Epstein's office and properties. Lawrence Visoski said she worked from the personal-assistant room, arranged some flight departures, and traveled on Epstein's aircraft, while noting that he did not know the details of her job. Juan Alessi had limited interaction with Kellen but understood that she answered phones and scheduled massages near the end of his employment.

Carolyn testified that Kellen later called to arrange appointments and took nude photographs of her at the Palm Beach house. During cross-examination, Carolyn was questioned about earlier FBI accounts and civil complaints involving Kellen, and the court addressed which complaint material could be used as evidence.
