You asked for a dictionary definition of paedophilia and I gave you it - an adult with a sexual interest in children.
In US Psychiatric manuals it is described as you suggest.
Is "pre-pubescent paedophilia" a defined offence in the UK - I dont think it is?
Child sexual abuse is the offence as far as I am aware and the punishment will be dependent on various aggravating factors, age of perp and vicitim being one.
