Is sex with under 16s a 'grey' area?

Should young men who have sex with girls aged 13 or over be classed as paedophiles?A chief constable has said the word "paedophile" should only apply to men who have sex with prepubescents. In a newspaper interview, Dyfed-Powys chief Terry Grange said his views reflected a "grey area". The charity Kidscape said he was "on very dicey ground". Do you agree or disagree with Mr Grange's views? How would you define paedophilia? Is the issue a "grey area" or "very dicey ground"? BBC

Young men who have sex with girls or boys aged 13 or over should be classed as paedophiles. Thirty is not young - we are talking about adult men here taking advantage and manipulating, then raping girls and boys too. Few enough are held to account and convicted for rape at present. Has Police chief Terry Grange any idea of the life long trauma sexual abuse causes. He should be sacked.
