What is the meaning of 'pederasm'?

I believe the parent meant "paederasty".

From Wikipedia:

Pederasty or paederasty (US /ˈpɛdəræsti/ or UK /ˈpiːdəræsti/) is a (usually erotic) homosexual relationship between an adult male and a pubescent or adolescent male. The word pederasty derives from Greek (paiderastia) "love of boys",[1] a compound derived from παῖς (pais) "child, boy" and ἐραστής (erastēs) "lover".

Swenglish (Swedish English) mangling of the word pederasty.
