Im against it!!! And please DONT quote out of context. I clearly said is horrific and wrong before and after that sentence . I was just trying to explain why whomever posted that justified posting about it. Is wrong , horrific, morally wrong and abusive.

girl dw i know, im just saying to add to what you were saying. u said regardless if the age of consent is 17 in some places, and i added that that wouldn't even be relevant because this situation can't include consent because of the power dynamic.

Ok regardless of whether you think it's gross or not, the man is not a pedophile. Pedophilia is literally the attraction to prepubescent children. 17 year olds aren't prepubescent children.

From Harvard Health:
The current edition, DSM-IV, categorizes pedophilia as a disorder only if the sexual fantasies or urges involve prepubescent children (defined as 13 or younger), if they last at least six months, if the individual has acted on them, or if they cause marked distress (including legal problems). The DSM-IV also specifies that a person be at least 16 years old and at least five years older than the prepubescent child.

The draft version of DSM-V, now undergoing review, proposes several changes to the diagnosis of pedophilia. One is to expand the definition of this disorder to include hebephilia, an attraction to children who are going through puberty. The hybrid category, pedohebephilia, would consist of the pedophilic type (attracted to prepubescent children, generally younger than 11), the hebephilic type (attracted to pubescent children, usually ages 11 through 14), and the pedohebephilic type (attracted to both). 

So even if the definition is changed, the man would still not, by definition be a pedophile. 

From Psychology Today:
Pedophilia is an ongoing sexual attraction to pre-pubertal children. It is considered a paraphilia, a condition in which a person's sexual arousal and gratification depend on fantasizing about and engaging in sexual behavior that is atypical and extreme. Pedophilia is defined as recurrent and intense sexually arousing fantasies, sexual urges, or behaviors involving sexual activity with a prepubescent child or children—generally age 13 years or younger—over a period of at least six months. Pedophiles are more often men and can be attracted to either or both sexes. How well they relate to adults of the same or opposite sex varies.

But yeah, let's potentially ruin a mans life by accusing him of being a pedophile, which he by definition is not
Criticize him for having a sexual relationship with a 16 year old, that's valid, but calling him a pedophile is wrong. Words matter, stop misusing them please. 

You’re completely correct, regardless of whether we think it’s gross. Facts don’t care about your feelings y’all, must we say it every time?
