DEF

Persona que abusa sexualmente de los niños.

OBS

pederasta: Este término ha extendido su campo semántico en español y ya no se restringe solamente a los hombres que abusan sexualmente de niños varones.

OBS

pederasta: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, recuerda que "pedófilo" es el adulto que siente una atracción sexual hacia niños, mientras que el "pederasta" es quien comete un abuso con ellos, y por tanto ambos términos no son equivalentes.
