Pedophilia is sexual interest directed at children. Although such a disorder is commonly associated with illegal actions such as possession of child pornography and child molestation, in many cases an individual with tendencies toward pedophilia does not take any actions toward these desires beyond fantasizing about them. There are studies that show that a history of childhood sexual abuse may increase the risk of pedophilia among individuals.
