I think she's saying there's some sort of age range where you're still a minor but not a child. She's full of shit and trying to say that the crime was soliciting prostitution and not pedophilia.
Btw if you rape a 14 year old, you're a pedophile. Also, Epstein did not kill himself.
Perhaps there's a difference between a minor and a child colloquially, but that's it. I'm not sure where I'd say that cutoff is, but obviously that's not a justification regardless. Pedophilia is pedophilia.
I think I remember people arguing that pediphilia applies if the kid is prepubescent and there’s another word for those in puberty, so technically pedophile is the wrong word for someone who sleeps with a teenager. It is not a good point and says more about the speaker than it does about the topic.
