In this post he just linked The Guardian article that described lack of solid empirical evidence.
Also note that it is a difference between an empirical claim and a moral claim. While empirical claim that some action almost always leads to negative outcome to others could be used as an argument for that action being immoral, it is still perfectly valid to attack the supporting empirical claim, while not attacking the moral claim.

- zajio1am 7y agoMy point is that this Stallman's comment is not 'defending aduls havings sex with children', but statement about empirical facts. There are Stallman's statements defending non-coercive sex with children, but they are older: https://stallman.org/archives/2003-may-aug.html#28%20June%202003%20() https://stallman.org/archives/2003-may-aug.html#28%20June%20...
