I'm not sure why you're singling out Western society. Erotic child-adult relationships seem to have been fairly common throughout history and throughout the world. Both in ancient Greece and feudal Japan, pederasty was common and accepted. Muhammad's youngest wife was nine years old when he consummated their marriage, and this wasn't really seen as notable until the 20th century.
The psychological impact on children notwithstanding, the stigmatization of pedophilia seems to be a pretty modern phenomenon.
