If I may repeat the gist of the example I gave earlier: This was a teacher who had felt up (but not had sex with) a girl three years younger than him when he was 18. In my classification this does not count as paedophilia so much as him being an idiot.

If he was simply touching her up against her will, that's sexual harassment. Not paedophilia. I know 2 legitimate teenage couples with a 3 year age gap involved, who both mutually agree to engage in what they engage in (16 and 19), and I see no problem with it, it's not paedophilia in my eyes. If you apply the same age gap to an older couple you don't even notice it. 26 year old with a 29 year old? See what I mean? Just because someone is legally classified as a "child" until they're 18 (at which point they just suddenly "jump" into adulthood), doesn't mean that's where they are mentally, and can therefore be abused easily.

But if you know someone is a pedophile YOU DO NOT LET THEM AROUND KIDS! How many times do I have to say it for people to understand? 1,000? 10,000? There is no such thing as unnecessarily paranoid when it comes to child rapists.

But of course if I ever knew for sure that someone was a paedophile, I'd do my level best to stop them from being around my kids.

As you can see OANST, we're making the same points.
What I'm talking about is people who refuse to let their kids go play outside because they're paranoid about paedophiles.
