High School vs Grade school isn't close in age.
There is no evidence he still likes young girls. While he should have been held responsible, exaggerating is not the way to go.
And yeah, technically it would be "hebephilia" even if he were still attracted to girls that age.
Labels are really important! I'm glad you are keeping us straight on this proper term for the sex offender.
Some of the girls were quite close to his age which was about 14. Too young to have consensual sex himself. I don't think of him as a pedophile, although he was clearly very wrong, inappropriate, he as and likely is still very confused about sex and sexuality.
The Duggars creep me out. A lot. The philosophy that they espouse infuriates me. Substituting ideology for information is only the tip of the iceberg.
FWIW, I think the Duggar parents attempted to do the right thing by getting counseling for all involved. They also took some steps to prevent further incidents . I don't have much or really any sympathy for the parents except that any parent would be overwhelmed, and aghast at the situation. They let their ideology dictate their solutions. If we are honest, we all do. I despise their ideology which helped create the situation.
Counseling was the right move. Unfortunately they used poor criteria when selecting the counselor and neglected to include the entire family who all clearly need serious help.
