NCIS Season 2 Episode 17

TRIVIA: Purcell is criticized for being married to a 17-year-old woman; the agents are apparently unaware that the age of consent for sex between men and women in Paraguay is 16 outside of marriage, 14 within marriage. This implies that the marriageable age is 14, so the relationship is completely legal under local law. They also refer to Purcell as a pedophile, which is a term reserved for a person with an attraction to prepubescent children and is considered a pathological condition. Interest in teenagers is ephebophilia, which is defined as an attraction to young persons who have passed puberty and who may or may not be above age of consent (which varies from country to country and, in the US, from state to state). Ephebophilia is not considered pathological unless it becomes obsessive. Finally, in most parts of the world, it is legal to marry someone who is otherwise under the age of consent.
