THE police’s leading child protection officer has said that men who have
sex with children should not be classed as “paedophiles” if the victim
is between the ages of 13 and 15 years old.
Terry Grange, the Association of Chief Police Officers’ (Acpo) spokesman on child
protection and managing sex offenders, said only those
who targeted prepubescent children deserved to be labelled and treated
as “paedophiles”.
He added that the term “child pornography” should apply only to images of
children aged below 13, for the same reason. “Child porn is 12 and
under,” said Grange, who is chief constable of Dyfed-Powys police. “For
me, that sort of thing, paedophilia, is [with] prepubescent children.”
