I don’t think Minsky is accused of statutory rape as the age of consent was 16 at the time of the accused event. So at the time, in that territory, sex with minors was legal.

Personally I don’t think it’s ethical for an adult to sex with minors. But many countries and states have laws allowing sex with minors. Maybe those communities think it’s ethical, maybe it’s just one of those historical laws they haven’t gotten around to updating with modern ethics.

So I don’t this this topic really has anything to do with pedophilia and how terrible that is.
