In a shocking video from a 2010 interrogation, Jeffrey Epstein is asked about his criminal charge of procuring a minor for prostitution. When asked by a lawyer, he replies, “What minor?” — showing he did not know the victim’s name.

Epstein pleaded guilty in 2009 to two counts: offering the services of a prostitute under 18 and another similar charge. Under a plea agreement, he was sentenced to 18 months in prison in Florida.
The interrogation, released in new Epstein case materials, begins with the lawyer repeatedly asking whether the women he associated with were prostitutes before meeting him. Each time, Epstein responds that he pleaded guilty to procuring, but falsely claims he never pleaded guilty regarding a minor.
The stunned lawyer points out that Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a minor, a felony. Epstein agrees, and when asked if he regrets contact with that minor, he says, “What minor?”
