1. -odiomic

   from odios derived from odium, "quality that provokes hatred; offensiveness" (from latin odium) plus ic, "used to form adjectives from nouns with the meaning 'of or pertaining to'". note, it may be that -odious, a suffix carefully derived from odious by prefixing a hyphen, would work better; odious means "arousing or meriting strong dislike, aversion, or intense displeasure." if anglo-phile like england than anglo-odiomic despises it. perhaps a better word for the criminal who preys on children is "pedo-odiomic" instead of pedo-phile phile as above.
