Is Bill Maher defending pedophilia here?

[Henry Krinkle]

Or, can only men be pedophiles?

Mary Kay Letourneau, the teacher from Seattle, who is in jail, because she is in love. That's how I view it. I admit that it's unorthodox, she's 35, the boy is 14. He was younger when they started. But the big story this week...

[GUEST: -Had he been bar-mitzvahed?]

Have I?

[GUEST: -No, had he?]

...OK. But she is pregnant again. That was the story this week. This is the second child by this boy, so, basically, they are having a family, and they are keeping the mother in jail, because she won't conform to what society feels should be the perfect American family.

How can a woman rape a man?

[GUEST: You're not defending this woman, are you?]

I'm completely defending not the woman only, but the boy, as well.

[GUEST: When you were 14, would you have been able to take care of 2 kids?]

Oh, I would have been able to take care of her. [LAUGHTER.] So it's better than she's in jail?

In most of societies in human history, 14-year-olds were fathers.

Define love? If we could, we would have. But we can't. It's something that happens between two people. And these are the two people.
