Pedophilia doesn’t describe behaviour but attraction. If a rapist is not exlusively attracted to children then they’re by definition not a pedophile. I’m well aware that in everyday language that word is used interchangeably with child molester but those terms are not synonymous.
agree with all of that except the exclusive bit, i’m going to go with the wikipedia definition
a psychiatric disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary or exclusive sexual attraction to prepubescent children
which presents a problem for my point, doesn’t it. if you are attracted to children, but not primarily, what are you? a semipaedo? if you only ever told one lie, it doesn’t make you a liar. that is acceptable, even obvious to me. but you only fucked one kid so you’re not a paedophile? i can’t get my head round that
i tried to look up the case but only get loads of results for fritzl
what age was his daughter? was he popping viagras and crying ‘this is going to hurt me more than it hurts you?’ i would previously have thought that being able to maintain a boner long enough to rape your own daughter (assuming prepubescent) makes you a paedophile. but having just read the ‘primary or exclusive’ bit of the definition i don’t know what to make of it
Yeah that’s a thing. CSA can happen as part of bullying, for example, or someone forced into it by a partner or because of circumstances like drug addiction or poverty.
aren’t paedophiles? yes your honour, i fucked that kid but i didn’t like it

In Hungary, there was a case, where a father who raped his daughter as punishment used that defense.

It was a younger, and the rapist’s name never got out here. Got quickly buried for whatever reason.
