Jeffrey Epstein’s “Core Four” referred to the group of women who played key roles in recruiting and managing his trafficking operation. These four women—Ghislaine Maxwell, Sarah Kellen, Adriana Ross, and Lesley Groff—allegedly helped Epstein lure underage girls into his network, scheduling massages that often turned into abuse. **Ghislaine Maxwell**, the most infamous of the group, acted as Epstein’s chief recruiter and was convicted in 2021 for sex trafficking. **Sarah Kellen**, Epstein’s personal assistant, was accused of booking and managing the young girls’ schedules, sometimes coercing them into compliance. **Lesley Groff**, another longtime assistant, was described as Epstein’s "executive secretary," allegedly facilitating travel and communication for the victims. **Adriana Ross**, a former model, reportedly helped remove evidence from Epstein’s properties to avoid law enforcement detection.


While Maxwell was convicted, Kellen, Groff, and Ross have denied wrongdoing and have not faced criminal charges. Kellen, who changed her name to Sarah Kensington after Epstein’s arrest, claimed she was also a victim, groomed into her role from a young age. Groff's legal team has insisted she was unaware of any abuse, despite being named in multiple lawsuits. Ross, who worked as an Epstein housekeeper and was seen in photographs with Maxwell, has remained largely out of the public eye. Prosecutors described these women as essential to Epstein’s operations, ensuring a steady supply of victims while maintaining his elaborate trafficking network. However, legal scrutiny has largely focused on Maxwell, leaving questions about whether the other three will ever face consequences.
