Jeffrey Epstein

Sarah Kellen at the 2002 Billionaires' Dinner. She was also on the plane trip.

The New York Times reported in 2002 that Epstein "flew a bunch of Tedsters to Monterey in his Boeing 727, outfitted with mink and sable throws and a high-altitude lunch catered by Le Cirque 2000." Photographed onboard the plane were John Brockman, Steven Pinker, Daniel C. Dennett, Katinka Matson, and Richard Dawkins. The Epstein association was later removed by Edge.

Sarah Kellen who appears in two deleted photographs from the dinner, has been accused of recruiting young girls, maintaining Epstein's schedule and handling travel arrangements for the young girls being exploited. She's specifically identified in the 2015 lenient non-prosecution agreement as a "potential co-conspirator."
