When I use the term "pedophile" I am speaking from the psychological definition. Pedophiles are people attracted to prepubescent children, so where the legal age of consent is 18 in the United States, pedophilia is 13 or younger.
The reason I make this clarification is to differentiate between child rape and statutory rape, which are two completely different situations. I do not believe in the death penalty in cases of statutory rape, because statutory rape a lot of times can be a case of a 17-year-old boy or girl lying to an adult man or woman about their own age.
However, in cases of legitimate pedophilia, I believe the death penalty is absolutely appropriate.
