    Thank you very much. This is the first I’ve heard that his attendance was to a sex party for underaged persons, and that he partook in the event. Even if it’s “just” an allegation.

    Hebephilia is a new term for me as well; my immediate opinion is that anyone bothering to make the distinction between paedophilia and hebephilia, is already problematic and likely either trying to justify paedophilia, or differentiate some action to distance it from paedophilia, despite it meeting all of the criteria for paedophilia.

    I can sort of understand attraction to persons who have completed their physical development (post-pubescent) who may not be legally an adult yet… Not that I would agree or even condone anything of that nature, but hebephilia, for anyone who doesn’t know, is attraction to those in the early stages of puberty. Regardless of what it’s called, you’re a fully grown adult and should have enough self discipline to refrain from pursuing any inappropriate and/or illegal intimate relations. Grow up, be the adult you are.
