    I don’t see why it matters whether the rapist is or isn’t a paedophile.
    He raped a child. That makes him a CSA offender.

    Is there even laws specifically to deal with paedophiles rather than people who rape children?

      yes of course in this or any other specific case it’s not particularly relevant. but it’s something to consider against the general question of what is a paedophile

      re laws, that would be thoughtcrime so i don’t expect there are

        thoughtcrime

        Yeah, thoughtcrime is pretty much BS and there better be no laws about it.
        I mean, how many times have you had intrusive thoughts about stomping the person you are talking to, without any particular reason and how many times have you actually done that?
        Then there was this guy who actually stomped on my pre-fractured toe and it is pretty easy to distinguish from a thought crime, so I see no grey area here.
