I’ve got five kids I’m pretty familiar when puberty usually starts.

Anecdotal. The law says, “The age in boys after fourteen years until full age, and in girls after twelve years until full age.”

So, if he did recruit 12 years, he by definition is a pedophile.

After hearing that a murderous muscle bound freak was his cell mate and moved hours before his death. I think the murderous ex-cop delivered a message. Kill yourself or suffer a life of rape and beatings.

This is actually more plausible than most theories.

There is a difference between pedophilia and underage of consent

Consent age is much higher

That is my point

When did the media for the most part and many Freepers decide underage and pedophilia were interchangeable

I’m 61

When I was a kid

Paedophilia was sex by an adult with a girl before she had mense or a boy before puberty which means essentially prior to ejaculation capable

Now it’s used here and in most media for sex by an adult with anyone under aged

So when did it change and is this now the new definition as opposed to the old one

“Pedophilia (alternatively spelt paedophilia) is a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children.[1][2] Although girls typically begin the process of puberty at age 10 or 11, and boys at age 11 or 12,[3] criteria for pedophilia extend the cut-off point for prepubescence to age 13.[4] A person must be at least 16 years old, and at least five years older than the prepubescent child, for the attraction to be diagnosed as pedophilia.[4][5]”

I would also note too the age of consent has been raised much higher than in my youth to where now an 18 year old boy with a 15 year old girl is a paedophile to media and many Freepers

A notion that would have been absurd in my youth

1960s and 1970s

This is a legitimate line of questioning

So I’m asking other thinkers here

As a curiosity via the new thinking

My maternal grandfather and both great grandfathers were paedophiles

Though I don’t think they or their wives felt as such

As for Epstein....I guess we will see if he qualifies for the old definition as well

We know he qualifies for the new interpretation
