Epstein was jailed from 2008 to 2009 at the Palm Beach County Stockade after pleading guilty to state charges in Florida for soliciting a minor for prostitution and procuring a person under 18 for prostitution. He was sentenced to 18 months in jail, though he ultimately only served 13.

Kellen claimed she visited Epstein several times in jail, noting he was able to contact her by Skype from a jail computer and allegedly asked her to undress for him on camera, per The Miami Herald.

She reportedly identified the officer as Michael Fox, who retired from the agency in 2020, according to a spokesperson.

Former Deputy Was 'Concerned' About Jeffrey Epstein
A former deputy sheriff confessed he was 'concerned' Jeffrey Epstein would use his influence to secure perks behind bars.
When asked how she knew about Fox, she replied that Epstein's former paralegal Story Cowles complained about having to drive a long distance to personally deliver the money and tickets from Epstein.
Former deputy sheriff Michael Gauger, who supervised the facility during Epstein's tenure, reportedly had been "concerned" that the disgraced financier would use his power and influence to secure special treatment.
"I was afraid that that would happen. [Epstein] was so smooth. He was trying to hook me in, and that wasn’t going to happen," he told The Miami Herald. "It wouldn’t surprise me at all because of how manipulative he was."
No Wrongdoing Has Been Found After 'Extensive Investigation'
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement found there were 'no inappropriate' actions against the Palm Beach Sheriff's Office.
A spokesperson for the Palm Beach facility highlighted a 2021 investigation by the Florida Department of Law Enforcement that found no wrongdoing by members of the sheriff's office.
"After an extensive investigation, FDLE determined that there was NO inappropriate or criminal activity on the part of any PBSO member with respect to their participation in Epstein’s work release or the permit detail," they told the outlet. "The investigation is complete."
