I'm not going to get into word games. The most widely accepted definition of a pedophile is a person who is sexually attracted to children. Most dictionaries define it as such. You can try tearing the word apart, or debating the age of attraction, but I find debates like that rather pointless. You can define it any way that suits you. But you can be sure that the public will define him as a pedophile.

Something I found interesting was that over at Boychat, many of the posters are really trying to put a spin on this. They are suggesting that the Hornbeck boy was running away from an abusive home. I'm wondering when one of them will nominate the kidnapper for man of the year for "rescuing" this poor boy and taking him in.
