I really don’t believe it would happen. I think pedophilia can have multiple causes, but don’t see how those causes could be absent in a culture. First of all, I think there’s an innate component, given the strength of the compulsions, and I also think there are pedophiles for whom it stems from trauma.

The only places I could see it being a possibility is in the very community-oriented and transparent groups like the San, but even then I doubt it doesn’t arise, it’s probably ‘simply’ dealt with by banishment, which is itself a death sentence.
