Also, if you look on YouTube, there are lots of videos where people trying to pick up underage boys/girls are incorrectly referred to as paedophiles, sometimes by people who should know better.

Totally agree. The former will usually do their time and get out, whereas the latter would go into a secure hospital and may never come out.

Richard. What is your definition of a paedophile? In what way,or in what circumstances, could an adults "sexual interest in those under 16" be excused and described as acceptable?

Have you any views on grooming or is that something that you also find to be an acceptable behaviour ?
