pedophilia
(redirected from pedophilic)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

pedophilia n. an obsession with children as sex objects. Overt acts, including taking sexual explicit photographs, molesting children, and exposing one's genitalia to children are all crimes. The problem with these crimes is that pedophilia is also treated as a mental illness, and the pedophile is often released only to repeat the crimes or escalate the activity to the level of murder. (See: molestation, rape, pornography)
