12. Not defending Megyn Kelly (not her, nor esp. not her motives) but there is a dictionary definition of pedophilia

And it would be rare for sex with even a 15 year old to meet that definition, so again, technically, she is correct. It would be hebophilia or ephebophilia by the dictionary definitions of those words. Since I'm OCD like this I would stipulate to that point, in an academic sort of sense.

HOWEVER, IIRC some (victim, iirc, but for sure someone who he was asking to "recruit" victims, maybe it was VG? I forget where I read the account as it was years ago) reported that his attitude was "the younger the better" when it came to recruitment efforts, that he basically was specifically clamoring for girls without fully developed breasts. THAT is pedophilia. Even if the youngest girl was 15 and past puberty, he WANTED younger.

Epstein was a pedophile, Megyn
