When taken out of context it looks bad, but when it's part of a broader discussion about morality and law not always matching up, it makes sense. Age of consent laws vary around the world, and it doesn't make sense why someone could legally have consensual sex with someone in one country, but if they had sex in a place with different age of consent laws, they'd be branded a pedophile.

It wasn't part of a broader discussion.[1] And he wasn't talking about adolescents.[2]

This is an example where the quote is actually worse with the broader context.
