US EditionMegyn Kelly Casts Doubt on Accusations Jeffrey Epstein Was a "Pedophile"
Megyn Kelly cited an unnamed source claiming Epstein preferred 'barely legal' teens, sparking backlash for downplaying his abuse of underage girls, with critics calling it career-ending.
- On Wednesday, Megyn Kelly, conservative podcaster and former Fox News host, questioned whether Jeffrey Epstein was a pedophile on The Megyn Kelly Show, Sirius XM, citing an unnamed source 'very, very close to this case' who said Epstein preferred 'barely legal' 15-year-olds.
- Earlier this year, Pam Bondi's disclosure that the Federal Bureau of Investigation was reviewing 'tens of thousands' of Jeffrey Epstein videos prompted Kelly to reconsider his pedophilia claims, amid his prior convictions and accusations in Florida and New York where the age of consent is 18.
- Medical experts noted the clinical distinction between pedophilia and attraction to pubescent adolescents, with Michael Seto saying, it's ages 13 to 15, while social critics on X called Megyn Kelly's remarks 'disgusting' and warned of career-ending backlash.
- Following the episode, major outlets sought comment and circulation increased as Newsweek reached out to Megyn Kelly's press team Thursday and Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails renewing scrutiny of Donald Trump and Epstein.
- A House vote on releasing the Epstein files is set for next week, with victims recruited to his New York mansion and West Palm Beach estate and coerced by men 4 and 5 times their age.
