   > Claiming that the most likely scenario in which children are involved in a sex scandal is one in which they consent

   I read the email exchange, and I don't see that claim being made.

   This is what I read:

   He said that if she was coerced by Epstein, she might have presented herself as willing to Minsky, thereby fooling Minsky into thinking it was consensual when in reality it was not.

     > You should go and read the statements he made

     I did and it looks to me like people are putting words in his mouth.

     I even see people say he's an Epstein apologist. I haven't seen anything to that effect.

     As the father of a 1 year old daughter, this subject is gross beyond belief, and I find pedophiles terrifying. But Stallman's point (stupid and unnecessary as it was) is definitely being twisted and mischaracterized.
