A paedophile is a paedophile...I mean, that's someone fucking around with a child, IMO.
If you're old/mature enough to consent in a relationship, say, if you're a both teens and not "technically" over the age considered "legal", I don't think there's a great problem there as long as decisions have been made together and mature precautions are taken. Sure, might not be legal, but I wouldn't consider what Sam said to be the case of a pedo.

It's actually pretty funny here how it works.
The age of consent is 16 for females, and 18 for males. (I think it's 21 for homosexual males, but whatever, not going there)
So here, if a 17 year old girl has sex with her 17 year old boyfriend, technically, she could be charged for doing so.

Again...there's a huge line between that legal red tape type stuff and what I'd perceive as paedophilia...
Death penalty? I dunno...that seems like letting them get off light. If there's evidence, I'd go with life inprisonment under constant isolation. Now THAT is a punishment.
