      Probably less rare for them to be a rapist and pedophile but he’s definitely the most publicized at it.

        You’re right, I think we’ve finally surpassed Thomas Jefferson at this point, though I suspect TJ’s rape and pedophilia are still mostly danced around when people talk about Sally Hemings (who was 14-16 years old and a peer to his daughter when it began, while Jefferson was in his mid forties).
