To be technically correct, as far as I understand it Epstein was not and did not cater to pedophiles (prepubescent). They catered to Ephebophiles (14-19) and Hebephiles (pubescent, or 11-14).
Men who were adults in the seventies and eighties (boomers for sure) had a strange fascination with teen girls. It's all over film and music of the era. I'm Gen-X and I found it as gross then as I do today. I never got how the culture at large didn't have a huge problem with it.
I think it matters in terms of psychological health. Internally thinking that an older teenager is attractive is a pretty normal thing that might happen to an allosexual human, whereas the same attraction for a younger teen or child is clear "get in therapy now before something bad happens" territory.
Please note that I have specified internal thoughts and not making gross conversation about how hot young people are and/or approaching them with sexual intentions.
But I agree that this is really not the context to bring up the difference.
