Original Note:
Milk was never alleged, charged, or convicted of pedophilia. At the time of Milk and McKinley's relationship, the age of approved consent in NY was 14. McKinley, being a long standing runaway, would've been held legally competent regarding consent. The law was changed in 2017. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/new-york-ends-child-marriage-raising-age-of-consent-from-14-to-18/
