Original sentence: A perpetrator committing child sexual abuse is commonly (and often, but not always, mistakenly) assumed to be a pedophile, and referred to as such; however, there may often be other motivations, much as adult rape can sometimes have non-sexual reasons.In this regard, there is evidence that at least a quarter of all adult men may have feelings of sexual arousal in connection with children.Strictly speaking, a person is not necessarily a pedophile simply because he or she is sexually aroused by children; rather, a pedophile is defined as someone whose primary sexual attraction is toward children.The term pedophile is often also used to describe any person who has perpetrated sexual crimes against children; this use, however, is seen as erroneous by some individuals, especially when viewed from a medical standpoint, as the majority of sex crimes against children are perpetrated by situational offenders rather than people sexually attracted to prepubertal children
Edited sentence: A perpetrator committing child sexual abuse is commonly (and often, but not always) defined as a pedophile since this act defines the pathology and the crime, and referred to as such; however, some pedophile support groups argue that there may often be other motivations, much as adult rape can sometimes have non-sexual reasons.In some quarters, a person may not necessarily be considered a pedophile simply because he or she is sexually aroused by children; rather, to them, a pedophile is defined as someone whose primary sexual attraction is toward children, as distinct, for example, from a parallel attraction to barnyard fowl, farm animals in general, and frequently family pets.Some claim, based on exceedingly limited and statistically unreliable studies that that at least a quarter of all adult men may have feelings of sexual arousal in connection with children.The term pedophile is often also used to describe any person who has perpetrated sexual crimes against children; this use, however, is seen as erroneous by some individuals, who argue that the majority of sex crimes against children are perpetrated by situational offenders rather than people sexually attracted to prepubertal children
