pedophiles
Pedophiles is the plural of pedophile—an adult sexually attracted to prepubescent children.
The term is clinical in origin but now dominates public discourse about child sexual abuse: a registry of convicted pedophiles, laws targeting pedophiles.
In casual use, pedophile often extends loosely to anyone who sexually abuses minors, though clinically it refers specifically to attraction to prepubescent children.
