definition of a pedophile.
A pedophile is someone who's sexually attracted to children. Some pedophiles also rape or molest children. There's nothing much worse than a pedophile. There are a lot of dangerous and sick types of people in the world, but someone who sexually assaults children â a pedophile â is probably the worst of the worst. People look down on pedophiles more than other dangerous criminals because children are young, small, and vulnerable.
