That's your combo with pedophilia, not Howard
They both dated teenagers and neither were attracted to children but both were attracted to teenagers yes; Howard was pursuing Elizabeth Tayler when she was 17 years old and he was 30 years older than her when he pursued her (check a previous response where I scanned a page from a book that mentions this). Not all were teenagers, many were in their 20s.
In the movie it shows he dated a 15 year old. I found the following online:
"* Yvonne Shubert - She was just 15 and Hughes was 50 when they had an affair. She gave Jean Peters her toughest competition. Pursued and intermittent singing career;"
"* Faith Domergue- actress and long time Mistress of Hughes as a teenager until she was 20;"
"* Elizabeth Taylor- Hughes got smitten by Elizabeth and offered $ 1 Million if she will marry him.But she refused;"
