In a recently uncovered interview following his release from prison, Jeffrey Epstein referred to himself as the “lowest” type of sexual predator. The US Department of Justice released a massive batch of new documents last week, shedding light on the inner workings of the sex trafficker and his circle. Among these documents was an interview where Epstein was questioned by former Trump adviser Steve Bannon about his criminal activities.
During the extensive interview, Epstein openly acknowledged being the “lowest” kind of predator while discussing his abhorrent sex trafficking offenses. Despite serving 18 months in prison after pleading guilty to soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, Epstein attempted to downplay the severity of his actions during the interview, showing little remorse.
When confronted with the label of a “class three sexual predator,” indicating a significant threat to public safety, Epstein adamantly declared himself as the “lowest” before reluctantly admitting to being a criminal. The conversation then shifted to Epstein’s wealth, with Bannon probing about the ethics behind his earnings, to which Epstein defended himself by stating he advised questionable individuals, making the subject of ethics complex.
In a previous segment of the interview, Epstein was asked if he considered himself “the devil,” a question that was met with a disturbing response according to body language expert Judi James. She observed that Epstein’s demeanor, particularly his reaction after being likened to the devil, indicated a sense of triumph in the exchange.
James noted that Epstein’s attempt to inject humor into the conversation, particularly with a movie reference, seemed calculated to divert the seriousness of the questions. She interpreted his gestures as an effort to transform the interaction into a light-hearted moment of shared amusement, showcasing what he perceived as his victory.
Overall, Epstein’s demeanor throughout the interview, marked by smirks and attempts at humor, suggested a belief in his charm and a desire to downplay the gravity of the allegations against him.
