Ephebophilia is the phrase you're searching for
Pedophilia is far more pathological. The attraction is to the "innocence" and "purity" of the child far more than it is about even the gender of the child. It's a complete form of dominance that expresses itself in a more socially acceptable way in our society's collective obession with virginity.
Meanwhile, Ephebophilla is more of a personal developmental disorder. It too comes from a place of domiance, (is there any other type of power dynamic in a relationship between a young teenager and a middle aged man?), but it is not as fully predicated upon innocence and purity. The teenage body has blossomed and is certainly sexually pneumatic, doubly so in this case where the girl looks to be in her mid-20s, but her mind is not as developed as her mammory glands. Your brain has major parts developing until about the age of 24. You're not playing with a full deck at 16.
Back in high school I knew a number of 10th and 11th grade girls who dated guys in their early-to-mid-20s because they felt they were "too mature" for guys their own age. Inevitably, these girls were fairly stupid and the guys were total losers.
The fact of the matter is this, 16-year olds, even excessively intelligent 16-year olds, are all basically functionally retarded. They're just stupid. A full grown man of any level of maturity should have NOTHING in common with a 16-year old girl.
That said, at least he married her instead of just shtuped her, I guess.
this is just creepy.....doesn't help that he was one of my most hated movie villains (Green Mile) of all time. Jun 21, 13:13
My new hero. {nm} Jun 21, 13:20
I'm calling BS that she is 16. There is no way! What the hell did I miss in high school? {nm} Jun 21, 13:27
how do parents even let their children get that close to a man that age? {nm} Jun 21, 13:32
Shes a... well endowed singer/entertainer. She'd be around people that age constantly. Jun 21, 13:33
holy crap you're right.....wow, she looks very old. Jun 21, 13:37
In other parts of the world, the child bride have no say in such marriage. They are being taken advantage of by men. {nm} Jun 21, 14:05
"Legal" =/= "ethical" or "right" {nm} Jun 21, 16:14
Nothing that I haven't said already, really.. {nm} Jun 21, 16:40

Or maybe we're all totally wrong and they have a connection we just don't understand. Jun 21, 15:19
the question is, why did she choose old boy who killed Mr. Jingles? {nm} Jun 21, 13:38
True. She could have landed someone far more attractive. {nm} Jun 21, 13:44
he did play Horace from Lost. :) {nm} Jun 21, 13:45
Spoilers Jun 21, 13:54
no, that's Mister Jangles, his twin mouse brother. {nm} Jun 21, 13:56
Stunt to get her some pub for her "aspiring country singer" career...done in 6 months {nm} Jun 21, 13:38
her career, or the marriage between her and the villain in Bait? {nm} Jun 21, 13:41
You're gonna love this headline... ;) Jun 21, 21:28
I agree. She doesn't look younger than 20 even. Marriage probably won't last long anyways. {nm} Jun 21, 16:00
Yeesh! Gross. I can only think of him in The Green Mile and Punisher: War Zone, in which he played major creepos. {nm} Jun 21, 15:05
