I don't think it's important to categorise an individual's sexuality as
'normal' or 'abnormal'. It's just playing with words. What's classed as
normal depends largely on the societal norms prevalent at the time. The
ancient Greeks regarded the man-boy relationship as entirely normal.

Sexual relations between an adult and child cannot be justified ever.
Unless we assume a child is capable of making all important decisions for
themselves. Which no society ever has.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gillick_competence

"Gillick competence is a term originating in England and is used in
medical law to decide whether a child (under 16 years of age) is able to
consent to his or her own medical treatment, without the need for
parental permission or knowledge."
