Jeffrey Epstein’s chilling 7 words when asked if he’s ‘the devil’ | UK | News
Newly released footage of Jeffrey Epstein showed the sex predator’s chilling reaction when asked if he was “the devil himself.” The nearly two-hour video file shows the monster being questioned by an anonymous journalist as part of millions of files released by the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday, January 30.
The reporter asked Epstein about a scenario and whether he believed people in “the most difficult situations of poverty and disease” would accept his “dirty money” for their children if they knew the money was coming from him. Epstein responded: “Everyone says I want the money for my kids. I guess, [even] “You should have told them that the devil himself said, ‘I’ll exchange a few dollars for your child’s life.'”
The reporter interjected and asked Epstein if he really believed he was “the devil himself,” but the monster joked in response to the questions and said with a creepy grin: “No, but I have a good mirror.”
When the reporter insisted that Epstein was taking the question seriously, the sex offender asked: “I don’t know, why did you say that?”
The journalist declared that he had “all the qualities” of the devil, including intelligence, but Epstein responded: “No, the devil scares me.”
It was not stated when or why the footage was taken, but it is understood this was after his first conviction in 2008 on charges of soliciting a minor for prostitution.
In the interview, the reporter asked Epstein if he was a “third-rate sexual predator”; this is considered the highest risk, but Epstein insisted it was the “lowest” level, despite admitting he was a criminal.
Epstein has been on level three on New York’s sex offender list since 2008. BBC. This was a lifetime appointment, meaning he was considered to be at high risk of re-offending.
He spent almost 13 months in custody for the conviction with blanket work authorization as part of a controversial plea deal accepted by the U.S. Department of Justice.
Epstein was later arrested and accused of managing a “vast network” of underage girls for sex in July 2019 and was never tried on sex trafficking charges. He pleaded not guilty and died in a New York jail cell on August 10, 2019, while awaiting trial.
