Sorry for yet another _really_ off-topic post, but this pedophilia talk
got me really annoyed.

Is someone a pedophile just because he had sex with underaged girl?
Underaged meaning against the laws of the country where the it was done?

You know, south africans allow girls to get married at the age of 12. Or
so the web told me. Several other countries had 14-16 age limits. Those
countries must be full of pedophiles!

The age itself doesn't make any difference, it's about if the person is
physically and mentally ready. Of course for most people that's around
14-16 (AFAIK).

I think this case is really stupid. The guy said exactly what he wanted
and didn't lie about his age or anything. Probably he didn't give any
threats or anything like it. Did "she" even say she's not interested
("I'm 15" doesn't count)? At most it's morally questionable if it's
right to keep sending sexual harassment emails, which the receiver could
just delete among the other sex spam she gets.
