Quote - Dale B:

Quote - Accusing someone of pedophilia is accusing them of sexual interest =in pre-pubescent children=. That is the accepted definition, and the current vogue of calling someone a 'pedo' if they express attraction for an mid-to-late teen adolescent is a serious misuse of the word ...

 

Your opinion is not "the accepted definition".

True. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pedophilia The medical community however -does- define it that way. And since pedophilia is first and foremost a -medical- definition term, whatever colloquial usage is batted about currently is irrelevant. And no, I am not claiming that wikipedia speaks for the medical community. However, there are links there that lead to the proper in-use medical references that =do= make that definition.
