...but in the end it was his insinuation that it was somehow OK if his recently-deceased mentor Marvin Minsky, then in his 70s or 80s, had sex with a 17-year-old on Jeffrey Epstein's private island.
What this accusation implies is: (a) that Minsky did indeed carry out a premeditated crime, and that (b) RMS, despite knowing Minsky had engaged in premeditated criminal behavior, decided to stand up for him.
What really happened: RMS argued over argumentum ad ignorantiam (no proof of Minsky carrying out a premeditated crime) because he was sad to see Minsky thrown into the same cauldron as Epstein's.
Then people mischaracterized RMS and accused him of defending pedophiles. Illiterate and malevolent people followed, because it was the mode du jour to be woke and angry.
Meanwhile Elon Musk blatantly called an innocent guy he didn't like a pedophile and still won a libel lawsuit.
I don't think you understand the legal system very well.

Lastly, thanks for offending my understanding of """THE""" legal system.
