If the person is attracted to underage children, then they are a pedophile. If the person is offending against adults, or performing illegal acts with adult, then to my humble understanding they are not considered a pedophile.

If you are on probation, that means you have been found guilty. If the charge was sex offense, as in "underage" then yes, you are a pedophile. Your name should be listed in the national notificatin list, as well as local state and county registrars. Eventually, the neighborhood will also know, as those are public records and accessible to everybody in the United States. People need to know this information, especially if they have small children. Everybody should check their area listings every 6 months at least to be aware of any person in the area. Not to harrass or threaten the offender, but to know that the offender is close to their own home and children. Usually sex offenders are repeat offenders. Seek help.

Depends on if the person they attacked/had sexual relations with is a minor. A pedophile is one who engages in sex acts with minors, and if the person is on probation for an unspecified sex offense, there is no way to know it they committed the offense against a minor or someone of age. It is a vile crime regardless.

A pedophile hurts children. If the victim was a child, then yes, the person will be labeled a pedophile

not unless that person had been with children . I know a sex offender that has been in the system for rape. He was 17 at the time and it was called rape cause the girl thought she was pregnant(after two days later she was 15 at time) and told her dad cause she didn't want to get into trouble. Now he has to register cause of bad judgement.

Not necssarily, A sex offender can be adult on adult crime as well. So being convicted and registering as a sex offender onyl means that you have commited some form of sexual offense, it could be against a child or an adult.
