I can easily find verses concerning homosexual sex (death penalty), consensual sex between unmarried adults (death penalty), and others, but I cannot find any verses about pedophilia aside from one where if a man rapes a woman child who had yet to be pledged to be married he had to pay the father and then marry the little girl. Is anyone aware of other verses on pedophilia?
 
If secular society had not concluded that having sex with children was corrosive to society then theists would still be doing it, Many of them do anyway, such is their devotion to their god.
 
the bible says no such thing that a man who rapes a woman child he must marry her

the bible condemns sex between two people unmarried

covet any thing of thy neighbor covers pedophilia

Exodus 20:17
Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.


Deuteronomy 5:21
Neither shalt thou desire thy neighbour's wife, neither shalt thou covet thy neighbour's house, his field, or his manservant, or his maidservant, his ox, or his ass, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.

covet is to have a strong desire to have which also includes sexually
 
Pedophillia is considered wrong culturally. The bible makes no referances to pedophillia as we consider it in the bible. All abrahamic religions have some sort of genral rule as to when a girl becomes a woman (usually centered around the first menses) but this is most likely do to the fact that when these religions were first around they needed to startmakein alot kids while young to actually have a child grow to full age. Modern views on sex at a certain age are based on science and culture not religion. Give it like another century and the thought of a 27 year old sleeping with a 20 year old could be considered pedophilia as science improves and cultures change. Hell we still refer to people who are legally adults as kids until they are 21 so its not encocievable that in a few decades what is considered a child could be somone much older than what it is considered to day.
 
It doesn't.
However whether eating shellfish, or grasshoppers is allowed,
is covered in great detail.
 
The Bible has no problem with paedophile behaviour, as we see from the story of Abishag.

It is interesting that our local Witness believes that a condemnation of prostitution includes sex with a minor (1 Corinthians 6:16).

I don't think all minors are necessarily prostitutes; but then, I haven't met that many Young Witnesses.
