WHAT! Did Milo Yiannopoulos Really Defend Pedophilia & Rapists?

Breidtbart senior editor, Milo Yiannopoulos, is not making the best impression after last week’s appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher. The next day, he was invited to speak at the Conservative Political Action Conference, and, again, made some very shocking statements — this time it was about the relationship between young boys and older men.

In a video posted by The Reagan Battalion, a conservative blog, Milo compared older female teachers having sex with young male students to homosexual pairings of the same age, stating that in the straight situation, “the boy is the predator” while “in the homosexual world particularly, some of those relationships between younger boys and older men the sort of coming of age relationships relationships in which those older men have helped those young boys to discover who they are and give them security and safety and provide them with love and a reliable — and sort of a rock where they can’t speak to their parents.”

When a voice off-camera said that sounds like “priest molestation,” he shoots back, ““And do you know what? I’m grateful for Father Michael. I wouldn’t give nearly such good head if it wasn’t for him.”

The Reagan Battalion later posted a longer unedited clip, linking to the source (an episode of the Drunken Peasants podcast on YouTube), in which Milo says: “The law is probably about right, that’s probably roughly the right age, I think it’s probably about okay, but there are certainly people who are capable of giving consent at a younger age. I certainly consider myself to be one of them.”

After being accused of defending pedophilia, Milo said, “You’re misunderstanding what pedophilia means. Pedophilia is not a sexual attraction to somebody 13 years old, who is sexually mature. Pedophilia is attraction to children who have not reached puberty. Pedophilia is attraction to people who don’t have functioning sex organs yet who have not gone through puberty.”

After the accusations, Milo quickly defended himself on Facebook to set the record straight. Read what he had to say below:
