He wasn't banging kids, or at least there is no proof that he was. The minor he is being charged for having sex with was above the age of consent in New York. The crime he is being charged with in regards to that is 'Travel to Engage in Illicit Sexual Conduct with a Minor'. In layman terms, he's being charged for crossing state lines to have sex with a minor prostitute. He's being charged for commercial sex acts with a minor, which is a felony compared to sex with an adult prostitute which I believe is just a misdemeanor. The other charge is Distribution and Receipt of Child Pornography, he hasn't been charged with any kind of rape, statutory or otherwise.
