Some comments:

"Child sex tourism is travel, either internationally or domestically..."

"or domestically" -- I don't believe that domestic travel is normally referred to as "sex tourism". There was a 1910 law regarding crossing state lines -- I forget the name (and -- as usual -- my system is so maxed out that I cannot google it... sorry).

"Offenses are divided into three categories: pedophilic offenses, in which the minor partner is under 11 years of age; hebephilic offenses, in which the minor partner is 11-14; and and statutory offenses, in which the minor partner is 15-17."

By whom?

"while North Americans constitute the main customer segment."

I have seen breakdowns which state that Japanese and German nationals are "the main customer segments" -- but, sorry, I can't give a reference just now. You could try googling it.

(NOTE: I'm really busy on other things, and I am way behind in responding to questions you have posed elsewhere on BW -- sorry... I hope to catch up soon.) User4 (talk) 09:43, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Often the legal definitions are different than those used by academics. It's kinda like how cannabis is often classified as a narcotic by statutes, but would probably be considered by scientists to be a mild hallucinogen. Or it's like how feminist academics will consider a broad range of behaviors rape that legislators would be more likely to call "sexual battery".
"In anticipation of DSM-V, Blanchard et al. (2009) proposed three subtypes of Pedophilia: Pedophilic Type (sexually attracted to children younger than eleven), Hebephilic Type (sexually attracted to children aged eleven to fourteen), and Pedohebephilic Type (sexually attracted to both). Blanchard et al. (2000) also introduced the term “teleiophile” to describe the remaining majority of adults who prefer physically mature partners. . . . When evaluating individuals accused of child sex tourism, the authors recommend classifying each purported offense as pedophilic, hebephilic, or statutory, based on the age of known victims".
