I suppose I just don't get it. She seems to be good looking. She could easily have an adult male with the mentality of a teenager, we know there are plenty of them. All I can see is opportunity/ease of access. Even the power dynamic would be the same with plenty of adult guys desperate to get laid.
Because she's a pedophile. I don't really understand the confusion.
Why is the sky blue? Because it is blue, I don’t really understand the confusion.
Pedophile is a title defined by an action. It has no connection to why the action was chosen. A person screwing someone who they legitimately thought was 20, but was actually 17 is by definition a pedophile. But the reason why they did it is very likely different than someone who had sex with a 13 year old and knew it.
No, action does not make someone a pedophile. An adult sleeping with an assumed adult to learn they are 17 is not a pedophile. It is potentially statutory rape, though, depending on circumstances.
Sexual attraction to children, e.g. this woman, is a pedophile.
Please try a dictionary. The literal only definition of that word is someone who is sexually attracted to pre-pubescent children. It has nothing to do at all with actions.
My mistake on the definition. I was looking more for the phycological underlying reason for that attraction. Unless you are saying a person is just born that way, and it isn't thier fault or something.
I'd argue that yes, they are born that way and their attraction isn't necessarily their fault. I'd also say they should have therapy, not be allowed around children, and if they harm anyone they need to be put in prison soooooo...what's your point here?
My original question was to try an understand the underlying cause. This might help me better assess the risks of people like my kids friends parents and such. My end goal is prevention. But I am also curious by nature. The better I understand things, the better a voter I am.
Why is the sky blue?

Just being pedantic, rapists, especially child rapists need the book thrown at them.
