Epstein is always described as a paedophile. I have absolutely no wish to palliate his offences and interfering with adolescents by older men does lifelong harm to the victims but the word is misused.
From Wikipedia
Hebephilia is the strong, persistent sexual interest by adults in pubescent children who are in early adolescence, typically ages 11–14 and showing Tanner stages 2 to 3 of physical development.[1] It differs from pedophilia (the primary or exclusive sexual interest in prepubescent children), and from ephebophilia (the primary sexual interest in later adolescents, typically ages 15–18)
