Look at C.M. 388 describing dealing with a moser which is presumed to be ready to do it again.<br /><br />The heter to kill a rodef - or a sofek roder - is only if there is no other way of stopping him. If there is a non-lethal way then killing him is murder. This would clearly apply to a case where there is a chazaka that he will commit the sin again.<br /><br />thus a pedophile has the status of rodef because he is presumed dangerous and is likely to attack again in the future.
