Yes, but cases like those get much less coverage and the attitude often seems to be "lucky boy" rather than "poor girl".

also whats the law have to say about ages of the children involved? does it stop being pedophilia after a certain age or is it dependant on the age of the pedophile? (i doubt)
"Paedophilia" or "Child Abuse" are not legal terms. The sentences depend on the ages involved and sex of the victim.

The first important age is 13, below that the penalties are more severe, up to life imprisonment.

For more info, see http://www.rapecrisis.co.uk/police_reporting4.htm (although that site seems to be a little out of date as it implies that it is still an offence for a man and a woman to engage in consensual anal sex)
