Epstein paid Palm Beach deputy to get special treatment in jail, ex-aide says
2d 7h ago by sh.itjust.works/u/pelespirit in politics@sh.itjust.works from www.miamiherald.comSarah Kellen, a longtime personal assistant to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, has disclosed for the first time that Epstein’s preferential treatment at the Palm Beach County jail may have been the result of him paying off Palm Beach sheriff’s deputies.
Kellen, during her interview with the House Oversight Committee last month, was questioned about perks that Epstein received while he was incarcerated at the Palm Beach County Stockade, a facility where Epstein was jailed from 2008 to 2009.
She said she visited Epstein several times at the jail, and one time, when she was home, he was able to use Skype from a jail computer to contact her.
He used that computer to get her to undress for him on camera while he was in the jail, Kellen testified. She was then asked by Florida Congressman Max Frost, a Democrat who represents the Orlando area, whether she knew of any other “ways” that Epstein was able to receive special treatment in the jail.
“I know that he arranged to have cash and, like, Disneyland tickets, taken to one of the officers in the jail and I’m not sure what he received with that,” Kellen replied, according to a transcript of her testimony.
She identified that Palm Beach sheriff’s deputy as Michael Fox.
