In the article, hebephilia is stated to be an attraction to "pubescent CHILDREN."
Children are prepubescent individuals with no secondary sex characteristics. Those developing said characteristics are not children but rather adolescents and should be referred to as such.
"Pubescent CHILDREN" is an oxymoron because despite legal definitions, the REAL definition of children is those who have not begun puberty and thus have no secondary sex characteristics.
People in the early stages of puberty are not children but rather adolescents.
I don't see a reason to remove the pre-existing content on those matters (which there is, just the headings are organized differently). The pictures do not seem necessary either. On a controversial topic like this, which also has a history of problematic editing, it's best to make small edits that are easier for others to parse in the diff viewer.
