Leo is a pedophile. He won’t openly date a child but he will go as low as he possibly can without going to.jail
Leo’s behavior isn’t very socially acceptable, but he isn’t a pedophile.
His explanation is that he doesn’t have any interest in starting a family or having children, and he thinks that the drive to do so for women kicks in in the mid-to-late twenties. Women he dates know this going in, they know it’s never going to go anywhere real, they know there’s an end date. They get to participate in his lifestyle, they get to meet a bunch of important people, etc, in exchange for a sexual relationship with a very wealthy, attractive man.
They’re young, but they’re adults capable of making decisions for themselves. Maybe some will regret it later, others won’t. But regardless, it’s a mutual agreement between adults.
Gross? Creepy? Yeah, especially the older he gets. Sexist? Oh absolutely. 100%. Pedophilic? No.
