Female ‘recruiters, groomers and friends’ accused of supplying Epstein with girls

Scanning through leaked flight logs from Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet between 2001 and 2006, an unfamiliar name crops up time and again - 350, to be precise.

Only Epstein himself, and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell, appear to have flown more often than Sarah Kellen on the plane dubbed the “Lolita Express”.

Ms Kellen, described by Epstein's victims as Ms Maxwell’s “lieutenant”, is accused by them of procuring women and underage girls for the late financier.

Little has been heard of, or from, the 40-year-old, and three other alleged female “co-conspirators”, since they were given immunity from prosecution under a highly unusual “sweetheart deal” struck between Epstein and the US Attorney for South Florida in a 2008 criminal case.

The arrest last week of Ms Maxwell at the behest of the attorney’s office in New York, which has said it is not bound by the Florida agreement, has now raised the prospect that investigators may turn next to the quartet.

The Telegraph understands that authorities are looking into the alleged role played by Ms Kellen, Adriana Ross, Lesley Groff, and Nadia Marcinkova in Epstein’s sex trafficking ring and eyeing possible charges.

The women have been accused of being his “recruiters, groomers, sexual partners and friends,” an organised network of underlings who reportedly received huge salaries and perks in return. They accuse Ms Kellen of running a “rolodex” of women and girls that she would arrange to visit Epstein wherever he was.

He did not make any remarks while walking but, at a press briefing later, Mr Trump said: "I'll probably have a mask if you must know. I'll probably have a mask. I think when you're in a hospital especially in that particular setting, where you are talking to a lot of soldiers, people that in some cases just got off the operating table.

"I think it's a great thing to wear a mask. I've never been against masks but I do believe they have a time and a place."

Portuguese police 'search wells 10 miles from where Madeleine McCann disappeared'

Portuguese authorities have reportedly been searching wells that are a 20-minute drive from where Madeleine McCann disappeared in 2007.

Police and divers in the Algarve region of Portugal searched three disused wells in Vila do Bispo for eight hours on Thursday, the Mirror reports.

The wells are around 10 miles west of Praia da Luz where Madeleine, who was three-years-old at the time, vanished thirteen years ago.

Multiple investigators were at the scene with specialist diving equipment to examine the wells, with the largest thought to be more than 13 metres deep.

According to the Mirror, Madeleine’s parents Kate and Gerry McCann have not been told on what grounds authorities searched the wells.
