Then you seem to associate 'young girls' with 'paedophile' activity with
no clarification. Is a 17-year old 'a young girl'? And is anyone who
has sex with a 17-year old girl 'a paedophile'?

At one time, it meant 'fancying' pre pubescent boys or girls. Now used for
anyone who has sex with one under the age of consent in any particular
country.

Its more complicated than that in most modern first world countries.

Its not pedophilia if the both of them are under the age
of consent by not much or if one of them is only a small
number of years over the age of consent and the other isnt.
