Pedophilia is natural in that it occurs regularly and without impetus throughout human history.
Of course, so has murder and rape.
Should I therefore refuse to stop a person who believes murder is a cultural imperative? Should we throw out laws against pedophilia, on the basis that it seems to happen on it's own?
It is perfectly acceptable to use violence to impose cultural values on others. That is what civilization is - if you don't want it, I hear there are plenty of hunter-gatherers in New Zealand looking for new recruits.
