    Without looking at the link: Are they saying he was a hebephile or ephebophile? Because that uh… that raises the question: do they think some kids are more okay to rape than others?..

      Without reading; yes, that is what they think.

      After reading: They seem to think that 15 is a-ok. They are saying that Epstein and pals were in to 15 year olds that looked younger than they were.

        Well if they where they should have done it in Canada cause consent was 14 for a long time. Reason they (government) told is they didn’t want to make criminals out of kids who have sex, like America does. And before how do you know this, friend’s sister was dating an older guy parents couldn’t do anything. Know we have a more complicated law instead of just blanket age range because you don’t want to punish kids from being kids but do want to protect from being harmed.

      With opening the link you called it at the last two sentences: KELLY: Yeah, so I don’t know what’s true about him, but we have yet to see anybody come forward and say 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. I think there is a difference. There’s a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old, you know?

        This is really the crux of the matter. Sure there’s (many) differences between 5 and 15 year olds. The question is, why bring it up? Why is it relevant in the context of Trump’s and Epstein’s crimes?

        As long as she doesn’t elaborate on it, the ostensible interpretation of her comment is that she thinks trafficking and sexually abusing a 15 y/o child is somehow less illegal or reprehensible than doing it to a 5 y/o child.
