She's right about one thing. This shit was prolific back in the sixties, seventies and eighties. Operation Yewtree blew the lid on just how rife paedophilia was amongst celebrities and how the (British) establishment had been covering it up for decades.
The Epstein files should have been a similar watershed moment for the US, but unfortunately some very powerful people are on that list.
Pedophiles are attracted to children before they hit puberty. If you try to fuck fourteen year olds you are a weird fucking creep (and probably a republican). But you are not a pedophile. You're watering down the word.
Edit: Why the hate?!
I hope you choke to death on a child's toy, you fucking creep.
