Free software guru Richard Stallman turns out to be a pedophile advocate

This one is not exactly a shock, given that Stallman is Jewish, but I was saddened to see that free software advocate Richard Stallman has defended Jeffrey Epstein:
While MIT engages in damage control following revelations the university’s Media Lab accepted millions of dollars in funding from Jeffrey Epstein, a renowned computer scientist at the university has fanned the flames by apparently going out of his way to defend the accused sex trafficker—and child pornography in general. 
Some of Stallman's arguments about child pornography, if represented accurately in the above news report, seem relatively minor. A 19 year old and a 17.999 year old taking partially nude pictures should not be facing criminal sanctions.

To suggest that juvenile girls who were effectively groomed and trafficked are able to supply informed consent is just nuts.

One wonders whether Stallman would have come to the defense of a pedophile with the last name of 'Singh', 'Wong', or 'Smith'.
