[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele]This is outside my area of expertise, but isn't there a difference between a pedophile who goes after prepubescent boys and one who is interested in high school boys (who are, presumably, post-puberty)? I can buy the argument that the first group is not gay, but I'm not so sure about the second.

Not my area of expertise either, but I believe that technically a pedophile is an adult who is interested in and attracted to children who have not yet entered puberty. The term does not refer to adults attracted to young people who have already gone through puberty.

So what do you want to call the guy sexually abusing 14 or 15 year old kids?
A pedophile.[/quote]
A rapist. [/quote]
No, not every pedophile is a rapist, regardless of the victim's age.[/quote]

Let's not spend time defending adults who are specifically attracted to minors whether 5 or 15, whether boy or girl. [/quote]
No one here has defended any abuser.[/quote]
