Megyn Kelly is raising eyebrows for questioning whether Jeffrey Epstein was even a pedophile. FYI, Epstein was convicted in 2008 for soliciting sex from someone “under the age of 18,” serving 13 months in a work-release program.
It’s not the first time Megyn’s made controversial statements. Ironically, some commenters are referencing an earlier interview she gave in which she held a different view.
Megyn sang a very different tune in a 2018 interview with an alleged victim of sexual abuse. The victim claimed the abuse began when she was 14, prompting Megyn to clarify that “the age of consent in California is 18 … There’s no consenting for a 14 or even a 17-year-old in these circumstances.”
Megyn Kelly said Jeffrey Epstein was “into the barely legal type”
On November 13, Megyn claimed that a friend of hers believed that Epstein was “not a pedophile.” The friend was reportedly an insider on the Epstein case.
“[Epstein] was into the barely legal type,” Megyn continued on The Megyn Kelly Show. “He liked 15-year-old girls. I realise this is disgusting. I’m definitely not trying to make an excuse for this, I’m just giving you facts.”
“He wasn’t into, like, 8-year-olds,” she continued. “But he liked the very young, teen types who could pass for even younger than they were.”
Megyn went on to claim that the US Attorney General said that Epstein had “tens of thousands of videos of alleged … child sexual abuse material on his computer.”
“So I don’t know what’s true about him,” the host continued. “But we have yet to see anybody come forward and say, ‘I was eight, I was under 10, I was under 14, when I first came within his purview.’ … You can say that’s a distinction without a difference.”
“[However,] I think there is a difference,” the former broadcaster insisted. “There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?”
In related news, the US Congress has some questions for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor about his close friendship with Epstein.
