Professor Stephen Kershnar – who teaches libertarian philosophy and applied ethics at State University of New York (SUNY) Fredonia – was filmed questioning whether pedophilia was in fact unethical.
“Imagine that an adult male wants to have sex with a 12-year-old girl. Imagine that she’s a willing participant,” Kershnar began.
“A very standard, very widely held view is that there’s something deeply wrong about this — and it’s wrong independent of it being criminalized. It’s not obvious to me that it’s in fact wrong. I think this is a mistake,” added the professor.
