damn he's so cancelled now /s
IMO this is a nothingburger that only a small vocal minority of generally unpopular opinioned people are pushing, I would bet money nothing is going to happen.
I have not seen any concrete evidence that would lead me to think so negatively of him like these comments I'm reading would suggest. We have a difference of opinion but I don't think that justifies calling someone a pedophile for dating a mutually consenting adult.

According to People in March 1994, sources told the magazine that Lonstein Gruss’ family approved of the match

Not trying to defend him. But sexual self-determination of 17 or 18 year old girls is a strange topic. Usually most people, especially the girls themselves are all for it. We generally are too. Unless it is our own daughter, a sister, a god-daughter or someone like that. Than we do not want them to actually exert this right. And we do love to use love affairs of couples like this as ammunition if we want to discredit someone, don't we?
I guess each person is different. I have zero sexual interest for women under (at very least) 25 (i am slightly older than him at the time they meet)
Even if they look older than they are, i still have no interest because there is too much different life experience and expectations. I just don't click (as a friend let alone as lover or partner).
Why 18 and not 17 or 25? Well society decided this is a (imo conservative, could have been higher) threshold for old people to have sex with young people.
Also 17 year old people can totally have sex with people of similar age (and we all have done 🙂) so it is not really about sexual self determination but rather avoiding predatory/manipolative behaviors of (much) older partners/lovers

No. We want them to have healthy relationships. Being groomed is not healthy. It's also nearly impossible to have that kind of an age difference without grooming being involved. This is why we have Romeo and Juliet laws to set boundaries for teenagers.
