        What does he say after? When I tried to look this up I saw his bashing of Venezuela over the years and talking about Venezuelans having to resort to prostitution.

        Most favourable interpretation: he's making up a story about venezualan child prostitutes to make a political statement about Venezuala's left wing government.

        Least favourable: this is all true, and he (tried to) sollicit(ed) child prostitutes, unknown if he reported the brothel's existence afterwards, and then made it a political story to tell during an interview.

        Kinda depends on the context which one it is, and I'm guessing it's the first because it'd make sense in his mind ("I'm talking about the horrible Venezuelan socialists", didn't think about how it sounds)and in the context of an interview.
