Megyn Kelly questioned the definition of pedophilia while discussing child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting a distinction between affection for very young teens and younger children. On her radio show, Kelly addressed newly released emails involving Epstein and Donald Trump. She acknowledged Epstein's abuse of underage girls but stated that her understanding, based on information from someone close to the case, was that Epstein was interested in "barely legal" individuals, specifically 15-year-old girls, not very young children. Kelly indicated that she only began to consider Epstein an actual pedophile after learning of the extensive child sexual abuse material on his computer, believing that only a pedophile would engage with such content. She further stated that she had not heard any victims come forward who were under the age of 10 or 14 when they encountered Epstein.
