BACKGROUND:
In December 2023, federal prosecutors reached non-prosecution agreements (NPAs) with three former associates of Jeffrey Epstein who had been identified as potential co-conspirators.
INDIVIDUALS:
SARAH KELLEN (now Sarah Kellen Vickers):
- Served as Epstein's personal assistant and scheduler
- Identified in FBI reports as coordinating visits by young women
- Named as a co-conspirator in the 2008 NPA
- Invoked the Fifth Amendment in prior depositions
- Agreed to cooperate with ongoing investigations
LESLEY GROFF:
- Served as Epstein's executive assistant for over 20 years
- Managed scheduling, travel, and communications
- Named as a potential co-conspirator
- Agreed to provide information about Epstein's operations
NADIA MARCINKOVA:
- Brought to the United States by Epstein from Eastern Europe as a teenager
- Described in some accounts as both a victim and a participant
- Identified in FBI reports and victim statements
- Agreed to cooperate and provide testimony
TERMS OF AGREEMENTS:
Each NPA required:
- Full and truthful cooperation with federal investigators
- Testimony before grand juries if requested
- Disclosure of all knowledge about Epstein's criminal enterprise
- Identification of other participants and enablers
- Ongoing cooperation with the Epstein Files Review Board
SIGNIFICANCE:
These cooperation agreements suggested that federal investigations into Epstein's network continued even after Maxwell's conviction and that prosecutors were pursuing additional evidence about the broader enterprise.
