A pedophile or paedophile (non-US spelling) is a person who is sexually attracted to young children. A pedophile who acts out his or her wishes in the form of viewing child pornography or molesting youngsters is committing a crime and breaking virtually all moral codes.
Pedophilia used to be considered a mental illness, but the APA changed its stance in 1994.[1][2]

Notes
- ↑ Pedophilia No Longer a Disorder, Psychiatric Association Decides
- ↑ the American Psychiatric Association has stated is that an adult may engage in sex with a nine-year-old child, and if the adult is not bothered by what he is doing, then he has no reason to seek professional help. [1]
