That seems to be the way laymen use it, but actually the term "pedophile" is misused quite a bit around here and elsewhere. The technical psychological term refers to an interest in prepubescent children only. This does not imply that having sex with someone under 18 (or photographing them, either) is okay, because the law obviously needs to make distinctions, however arbitrary (in some European countries, for example, the age of consent remains 16, not 18).

I am just saying that that is how most people would label a 20 year old looking at nude pictures of 15 year old girls.
