And this has nothing to do with being a pedophile.  If I were to show you several pictures of 15 year old girls I guarantee you would not be able to tell them from 18 year old girls.

Apparently you do not understand the definition of "pedophile"

Perhaps Statutory rapist is the better term. In South Carolina, they have Romeo and Juliet laws that say a person 18 years old or younger can sleep with a person 14 years old or older and it does not qualify as statutory rape. So if he were 1 year older, it would have been statutory and her consent would not have been relevant. 

But yes, in my high school (granted, I graduated 15 years ago now), it was honestly kind of unusual if you dated even 2 years away from your grade. My now wife had a boyfriend who was a year younger than her and her friends teased her about "robbing the cradle" so maybe my high school was the weird one, I don't know.
