Draganlord suggested it so here it is I would say no for two reasons.. 1: Freddy was clearly attracted to at least Lorreta (his wife), Nancy and Lori. Lori was 18, I'm not sure about Nancy but I'd guess about 16-18. 2:Freddy's motives can actualy be pretty thourely with criminal physchology, I won't go into detail unless someone asks but in short, Feddy's motive is based off of fear and power. Freddy enjoys the fear and pain of things weaker than him, he's just slowly moved up from hamsters.

I am not absolutely convinced of Freddy as a pedophile, but since there is an audience that believes in that belief, I am will ing to listen to what they have to say before I vote.
Also, the begining of Freddy vs. Jason and the licking scene with Lori towards the end sort of hinted at that.
I do believe that Krueger feels some sort of sick pleasure (not specifically sexual) from torturing and killing children.
Edit: I am also aware of that newspaper article from Dream Child which stated that claim; but, the movie did not push that fact. It may actually be a blooper that the editing team missed.

Most pedophiles get off on the power they have over the younger kids. And there was a paper clipping in one of the movies that called him a child molester. So he obviously did something other than kill the little kids he hurt when he was the Springwood Slasher. My vote is he was a pedophile but he'd kill older teens too. Though obviously that didn't start until after he was dead. Because his targets as the Slasher were little kids mostly little girls.

Whatever you want to call him he got his jollies off of using both sex and torture leading to death. I don't think the person that started this was asking if Freddy was a Pedophile in the sense of just using the term. They wanted to know if he sexually abused little kids before he killed them. I think he did.

The question wether or not he's a pedophile, I agree he sexualy abused little kids but that dosen't make him a pedophile.

I think Freddy got some sexual gratification from what he did. For 2 reasons. One that little girl from Freddy vs. Jason says he likes kids ESPECIALLY little girls and two also in F vs. J the scene where he licks the back of the picture. That was a very dirty/sexual thing to do if he wasn't getting something sexual out of it. So I think he may have been mostly a sadistic offender but I think it's also obvious he had a bit of the regressed offender to him too. Which would characterize him as a pedophile.

After hearing various commentaries on the DVD from Heather Langenkamp and various critics, I am convinced that it was Craven's original intention to make Freddy into a pervert that was executed by the neighborhood watch. Also, in the alternate takes of his scenes with Tina, he comes off as a bit perverted which really does nothing but add to the label of sadistic offender.

Pedophile- an adult who is sexually attracted to young children.
Freddy is indeed a pedophile. You got the newspaper clipping, the hints in Freddy Vs. Jason, and others.

Well that proves he's a child molester, not a pedophile.

Well this seems truly interesting. But I DO believe that I heard before that Wes Craven actually had Freddy as a child molestor in the original ANOES, but changed it due to the possible offending of people in the area of California the first ANOES was shot (there had been a couple that were into molesting children in the area). So he changed it to child KILLER. And I consider Craven's word of ANOES continuity law so... :/
