A paedophile is an adult male who is attracted to and desires sexual contact with a child. A paedophile wouldn't look twice at most 14/15 year old girls because to him they would not look like children.

I can see the difference between under age sex between two consenting teenagers (even if the boy is a couple of years older than the girl) and they believe they are in love, and a situation where a dominant adult has forced himself on a child victim. In fact I feel sorry for 16/17 year old lads who find out their girlfriend is under 16. Girls mature a lot quicker than boys and quite often it's the girls who do the chasing.

I think that was what the guy was trying to say. That's why it's a grey area and why each case needs to be looked at individually.

Most 14 year old girls tend to be far too streetwise maybe and probably a lot more so than 15/16/17 year old boys. I've seen 13 and 14 year olds dressed like 17/18 year olds and wearing make up! It's hard to tell sometimes if a girl is 15 or 17 and it makes all the difference to whether it's legal or not.

Hope I'm making sense.
