Resurfaced New York Times Op-Ed on Pedophilia Sparks Criticism from Elon Musk and Others

A resurfaced 2014 New York Times op-ed by Rutgers Law Professor Margo Kaplan, which described pedophilia as a disorder rather than a crime, has sparked renewed controversy. Critics, including Elon Musk and US Senator Mike Lee, condemned the article, calling it "utterly disgusting" and asserting that pedophilia is a crime. The debate gained attention amid ongoing scrutiny of figures linked to Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking network, intensifying public outrage over the issue.
