pederast
Abuser of minors
A pederast is a man who engages in sexual activity with boys.
The term specifically denotes adult male attraction to adolescent boys, distinguishing it from pedophilia's focus on prepubescent children.
The word carries strong condemnation: He was exposed as a pederast and fled the country.
