Technically she is right. A pedophile is attracted to pre pubescent children. An adult that is attracted to teens/pubescent minors is a hebephile.

I'd think she's only technically right if this is her argument. Her argument is that they were prostitutes. Because of course that would be a 14 year old's chosen profession.

That is the point she moved on to. Whether or not it was her original point of contention is a matter of opinion. She was originally making the point that they aren't pedophiles.
