From what I can discern, having seen these posts for years now on
Cypherpunks, the guy _kissed_ a girl just short of her 18th birthday at a
party with her full consent and got shafted for it. Not exactly what I would
consider pedophilia, but holding the view that merely kissing a 17 year old
might not necessarily be vile child rape disqualifies me by definition from
commenting on the topic.
