Technically speaking, "pedophile" refers to a person who is sexually
attracted to pre-pubescent kids.  A person who has sex with or is
attracted to someone who is pubescent but underage may be considered
perverse but is not technically a pedophile.

Sorry for yet another _really_ off-topic post, but this 
pedophilia talk got me really annoyed.

Is someone a pedophile just because he had sex with underaged 
girl? Underaged meaning against the laws of the country where 
the it was done?

You know, south africans allow girls to get married at the 
age of 12. Or so the web told me. Several other countries had 
14-16 age limits. Those countries must be full of pedophiles!

The age itself doesn't make any difference, it's about if the 
person is physically and mentally ready. Of course for most 
people that's around 14-16 (AFAIK).

I think this case is really stupid. The guy said exactly what 
he wanted and didn't lie about his age or anything. Probably 
he didn't give any threats or anything like it. Did "she" 
even say she's not interested ("I'm 15" doesn't count)? At 
most it's morally questionable if it's right to keep sending 
sexual harassment emails, which the receiver could just 
delete among the other sex spam she gets.
