Files released by the US Department of Justice regarding the Island of the Devil case—centering on the late businessman and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein—revealed a previous interview focused on his crimes and wealth. During the exchange, the interviewer asked Epstein if he viewed himself as “the Devil himself.”In segments of the interview aired by the BBC and Sky News, Epstein is seen answering questions during an extensive two-hour session. Most strikingly, the interviewer asked, “Are you a third-degree sex offender?” Epstein responded, “No, first-degree. I am the lowest.” Subsequently, when asked if he viewed himself as “the Devil himself,” he replied sarcastically, “No, I have a good mirror.” When the interviewer pressed the point, insisting the question was serious and that Epstein possessed all the attributes of the Devil, the latter replied, “No, the Devil scares me!”Numerous horrific stories about Epstein have circulated globally, extending far beyond his private island. He claimed that Epstein and his guests would kidnap children, release them into the forest, and then hunt them down with firearms.
