      Pedophilia is a psychiatric disorder. Sexually abusing a child is a terrible crime.

      Lots of pedophiles will never touch a child. Alternatively, some people who are not pedophiles will sexually assault children (sometimes, it can be just a power dynamic thing for example).

      I think you are confusing the terms. Nobody here is defending people who assault children.
