Pedophile

People who are primarily attracted to prepubescents 11 and below.

There are real terms called chronophiles for other age ranges as well:

Pedophile | 11 and below | 5%
Hebephile | 11-14 | about 16-20%
Ephebophile |mid-late adolescents 14-18 | 20%
Teleiophile | adults

Note: %s only account for males and are averages based on a combination of studies. 1 2 3

-these do not necessarily imply that these people are carnal sex-crazed animals whose sole desire is to seek sex. They are not akin to boiling pots of water that can overflow at anytime. Most of these people fall in love with young people the same way as adults who fall in love with other adults. Then later in the relationship, sex becomes relevant.

-These terms should not be used to denote actual sexual activities between adults and younger people, because most people with one of these never actually engage in them, and those who do often lack chronophilic attractions. 4
