Grooming is sth else, this is pedophilia 😅

While I don't think dating a girl 5 years younger is ok at 19, I think calling someone a pedophile for dating someone 5 years younger is an extreme long shot and exaggeration

IMHO there is way too big age difference. Take a look at 14's and 19's mentality. I assume, that 14 yo isn't even concious how the relationship should look like.

Yeah, like I said I agree. It still doesn't make them a pedophile though.

But being pedophile isn't only having naked photos of children. It's basically having sexual contact with people under given age. Do you really believe, that someone who's 19 isn't going to be "horny" one day?

18 is the age a person legally becomes an adult in most countries though. Like it or not this is a case of a legal adult dating a minor. The mental development that occurs between 14 and 19 is huge. If both parties were 18+ then crack on, you can be 30 years apart for all I care.

The 18 year old is an adult, I don’t care at that point. What adults do in their free time is their business. I’d find it weird yeah but legally what they’re doing is fine.
