His crimes were committed 40 years ago, so it just goes to prove the old adage.

To paraphrase Sextus Empiricus..."the wheels of justice grind slowly, but they grind exceedingly fine"

Hypognosis, I believe strictly speaking a paedophile is one who is attracted to pre-pubescent children. Those attracted to post-pubescent young people are termed ephebophiles.

// Now all these cases are coming to court lately regarding incidents that took place years ago, do the jury just go on what is said in court or is there any evidence?//

having supported someone in one of these cases
it was : "victim" he assaulted me
defendant: no I didnt
acquitted in eight minutes
when I wrote to the DPP she said the system was meant to work like this

however Freddie DID keep a diary - naughty boy - which was damning.
and Max Clifford kept one of the complainants letters in his bedside cupboard - naughty boy

A paedophile is a deviant who is attracted to children before they're reached puberty.

Peter Pedant, there is nothing 'naughty boyish' about these men.

there are various terms. Infantophilia you can guess. Paedophilia below puberty though it seems to be used of anyone under the age of consent these days. Hebephilia for pubescents (like Lolita). Ephebophilia for young teens but past puberty (and maybe even over the age of consent).

The Greek word ephebe refers to a young man between the ages of 18 and 20.
