Barely Legal is 18, Not 15

At this point, you've probably heard this from Megyn Kelly:

"I know someone very close to this case...Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile...He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15-year-old girls...He wasn't into like 8-year-olds, but he liked the very young teen types, that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passer-by...There is a difference between a 15-year-old and a 5-year-old."​

This, coming from anyone, is vile, but coming from a woman, one who was sexually harassed herself, is reprehensible. These are young girls we are talking about here, girls who were not much older than Megyn's daughter is right now. What kind of lesson is she teaching her daughter? As long as she is "barely legal" at 15, it's okay for grown men to harass, rape, and traffic her.

Let's set the record straight: Barely legal refers to the period when a child has just turned into an adult, which in the US is 18. It does NOT mean a child reaching the age of adulthood (which still wouldn't be 15). It doesn't matter if the child is 5, 8, 15, or 17. Under the law, a child under the age of 18 cannot legally consent to sexual acts with an adult, and therefore, it is illegal, as an adult, to perform sexual acts with them.
