Pedophile? I had heard he was simply involved with an under age girl, i.e. jail bait, which in most states means 14 or 15. (30 states and DC make age of consent 16; the rest make it 17 or 18). "Pedophile" usually means 12 and under, with 13 being either pedophile or jail bait depending on the state.
We don't like it when people try to correct ChainGangGuy's joke. But since you have the age of consent laws memorized, I guess it's okay.

I thought it was a statement of belief, not a joke. Now, if he had called Jerry Lee Lewis "that jail-bait banging singer," I would not have commented as, as far as I know, that is an accurate statement.
However, I just looked up his page in Wikipedia; it says JLL married "his 13-year-old cousin, once removed." So it is likely Chain Gun guy was right all alongn. There's another reason, which I think applied even back when he got married. You have to be 18 to get married, but with parental consent you can marry at 16. However, one can go before a judge who must issue permission for a couple to marry at any age even without parental consent, if the girl is pregnant. The conclusion is left as an exercise for the reader.
