In common public terms, pedophiles and child molesters are the same thing.
In liberal public terms, all child molesters are pedophiles but not all pedophiles are child molesters.
However, I’ve also seen this concept floating around which not only dictates that the vast majority of pedophiles don’t offend but it also dictates that the vast majority of child predators aren’t pedophiles in any sense of the term.
I’d like to believe this but I cannot find any sources to back this up, if this is true could someone provide some sources?
