Pedophiles are people who are attracted to pre-pubescent children.
If someone has sex with a 17 year old girl or boy, they are not a pedophile. They may or may not be breaking the law, depending on where you are, but they are not a pedophile.
It's always annoying when people confuse the issue.

At the moment those attracted to girls in their puberty (12-18) are generally considered pedophiles. As I made clear in my first post, I am talking about people attracted to girls that look slightly underage (underage teens), not about people attracted to pre-pubescent children.
I believe phebophilia is the correct term, but not many people know or use this word.
