Almost.
Having sex with a prepubescent does by itself not meet the criteria for pedophilia (in the clinical sense which you are referring to), one would need a psychological assessment to establish this, it could be a crime of opportunity.
An important distinction in that a pedo is to be regarded as a repeat offender by default.
Once an individual has molested a prepubescent child, I'm okay with permanent incarceration, with or without the psych evaluation. After all, psych evaluations rely on human judgement and are thus prone to error.
