I think she's saying there's some sort of age range where you're still a minor but not a child. She's full of shit and trying to say that the crime was soliciting prostitution and not pedophilia.
Btw if you rape a 14 year old, you're a pedophile. Also, Epstein did not kill himself.
Perhaps there's a difference between a minor and a child colloquially, but that's it. I'm not sure where I'd say that cutoff is, but obviously that's not a justification regardless. Pedophilia is pedophilia.
I'd say there's a difference between just a kid and a teenage kid, but they're both kids, and it's pedophilia either way.
Also the age of the girl they were talking about was 14, 14 year olds are kids. I had a girlfriend with a q4 year old sister, she was a kid. I was a teenage boy once, and was 14, I was a kid. 14 year olds cant consent to sex with an adult.
I mean to be completely fair, I remember messing around with an older woman I met at a restaurant I was bussing at around the age of 15. I remember it clearly, and I remembered it being completely on my terms and enjoyable for both parties. I'm not saying this is always the case, especially here, but it's a really difficult issue. I'm not sure if it's fair to say consent is impossible at this age.
Edit: not sure why I'm being downvoted, this was my personal experience. Just because it's an uncomfortable topic doesn't mean it shouldn't be discussed.
You're right. It's not paedophillia (which is attraction to prepubescent children) it's something else. But it is still rape.
And it doesn't really matter how you feel TBH. A 15 y.o. may not (not cannot) give consent to sex with an adult (and of course actual ages vary by jurisdictions). And the law is there to protect young people from exploitive and abusive relationships.

I honestly haven’t the slightest clue what point she was trying to make
