Communities devoted to explicit material saw rising popularity, and r/jailbait, which featured provocative shots of underage teenagers, became the chosen "subreddit of the year" in the "Best of reddit" user poll in 2008, and at one point, making "jailbait" the second most common search term for the site.

From banned subreddit section.

Well, teeeeeechnically not, as there was no sexual interaction and no full nudity.

However, if someone is explaining how they're technically not comitting a felony, they should probably stop.

Borderline, not that it makes it any better.

It was supposed to be borderline, ie 18+ models who just looked like they were underage. However there were lots of underage girls posted on there, and indeed the word literally means "a tempting but illegally underage girl" - they're bait, and if you try to do anything with them you'll go to jail.
