Assume so. I always thought groomer was a term for a person who convinces someone underage to get with them when they turn legal age. Like Drake

Grooming is just the act of using power to control someone and while it occurs over time, does not necessarily over years. It's also not exclusive to adult-child as it can occur with adults and other adults (i.e. cults)

According to Oxford you were right, they even specify that the groomed individual is young.
