Psychiatrically speaking, pedophilia is the sexual attraction to prepubescent children , so doesn’t apply to Epstein (based on available evidence) or those in congress who are complicit in the cover up of his crimes.

I know “teen sex trafficking enabler” doesn’t roll off the tongue as smoothly as “pedophile”, but as a member of the reality based community, I feel it’s important to prioritize facts and accuracy over emotionally satisfying epithets.
