I'm not a fan of Strom Thurmond, but I dispute his characterization
here. A 15-year old girl is not prepubescent, but adolescent, and a
diagnosis of pedophilia does require that the object of adult
attraction be prepubescent, despite how the U.S. media incorrectly
portrays the crime.
I also dispute that Carrie Butler was raped. She may have been
exploited and manipulated, but there is no evidence that the act
wasn't consensual, and, yes, a 15-year old can consent to sex. Strom
was 23 at the time; maybe he was a lecherous charmer.
