To be technically correct, as far as I understand it Epstein was not and did not cater to pedophiles (prepubescent). They catered to Ephebophiles (14-19) and Hebephiles (pubescent, or 11-14).
Men who were adults in the seventies and eighties (boomers for sure) had a strange fascination with teen girls. It’s all over film and music of the era. I’m Gen-X and I found it as gross then as I do today. I never got how the culture at large didn’t have a huge problem with it.
