Fears four other women helped Ghislaine Maxwell recruit, groom and pimp out girls for Jeffrey Epstein
FOUR women have been accused of helping Ghislaine Maxwell supply young girls to billionaire paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova are being investigated for their alleged role in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring, according to a report in the .
They have been accused of being his “recruiters, groomers, sexual partners and friends,” along with Epstein's ex girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell who is currently being held in prison on child sex abuse charges.
Maxwell vehemently denies the charges.
Ms Kellen, dubbed Ghislaine Maxwell's “lieutenant” by Epstein's victims, is accused of sending young girls to Epstein wherever he was in exchange for huge salaries and perks.
She is said to have flown on the paedophile's 'Lolita express' plane almost as many times as Epstein and Maxwell.
'SHE KNEW'
Sarah Ransome, who was a 22-year-old student when she claims she was abused and trafficked by Epstein and his associates, said: “When Jeffrey wanted me, you know, Sarah Kellen or Ghislaine would call me into his bedroom, and I had no choice but to go.
She added: “Sarah Kellen knew for every girl that she organised to go on that island (Little Saint James in the US Virgin Islands) or to be picked up by a car to go to the New York mansion, she knew that these girls were there to be abused repeatedly.”
The women have faced numerous civil lawsuits, but never criminal ones, The Telergaph reports.
Ms Marcinkova and Ms Ross have exercised their right to remain silent when questioned on the allegations.
Ms Groff denied having anything to do with Epstein's sexual misconduct through a lawyer in 2019.
'PAIN AND DAMAGE'
Responding to the accusations in an earlier statement, Ms Kellen's lawyers admitted that she scheduled appointments for Maxwell and Epstein and was aware of the "pain and damage Epstein caused".
Nadia Marcinkova said that she herself was one of Epstein's victims when she was 15 after arriving in the US from Slovakia.
She is then alleged to have started helping the paedophile to find other underage girls.
It is unclear whether the other three women were victims of Epstein's abuse or not.
The arrest of Ms Maxwell last week raises the possibility of the FBI revisiting the case.
Ghislaine is currently being held over her alleged role in the grooming and abuse of Epstein's underage victims.
The Sun on Sunday reported today that she moved 36 times in a desperate attempt to avoid arrest before the FBI finally pinned down her location.
And she is said to be moving from cell to cell as authorities fear she could be killed in jail.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a survivor of Epstein's sex trafficking ring said of Guislaine Maxwell's arrest: "This day to me has been like the one of the best days of my life.
