Is there an equivalent word to "pedophile" in Khmer ?

After all, in English we are still borrowing from ancient Greek. Just a thought. Maybe it's a linguistic thing.

Etymology
From pedo- +‎ -phile, after Ancient Greek παιδοφῐ́λης ‎(paidophílēs) (from παῖς ‎(paîs, “boy, child”) and φιλέω ‎(philéō, “I love”)).

It should be clearer to those who can read Khmer. Do the Khmer press use a totally different word (for sexual offenses against children), or does it change in translation ?

Google says ជនរំលោភកុមារ, so along the lines of "person that violates children" from my bad Khmer.

Regardless, the absence or existence of words in Khmer shouldn't prevent newspaper editors from using the English word when required.

Cases like this, you really wish a mob had beaten the child molester to death, they deserve nothing more

Hard to believe some people can make jokes on threads like this
