oh yeah it's so much better to demonize an almost totally unrelated population who typically don't even commit sex crimes. It's way better to stigmatize a medical condition that people had no control over, no matter how they actually behave. You sure nipped that problem in the bud, UH-HUH!
Just fucking say child molester. Actual pedophiles are no more likely to commit sex crimes than the general population are.
I was wondering why he would say that unless he was running for murican goverment. Seems like Age of consent is 16 in Britian so he feels he did nothing legally wrong.
Even if legal, it's creepy as fuck all, but that is still different from statutory
Edit: the article quotes him as saying that's the age in England, implying that's where it occurred. So, creepy as fuck all, but the wrong terminology.

Just to be clear, you want us to feel sorry for sexual predators who target children?

Was it? Statutory age varies across the world.

You literally made it technically incorrect. The worst kind of incorrect.

I’m not one for defending him, and it is fucking weird, but it’s legal here.

With legal knowledge like this, you could be US Attorney General.
