King's pedophilic tendencies show in his unnecessarily sexualized descriptions of teenage characters. I specifically say unnecessary as sexualized language is just part and parcel of depicting scenes of sexual abuse and violence, and many of his works are touch on these topics. Most of it, though, is just "creepy and unnecessary", like his infatuation with detailed descriptions of their breasts, or just a sentence or two that is kinda cringe but can readily be passed over quickly.
Like in Carrie he writes at length on how smooth and attractive her legs are. In Under the Dome there is a paragraph that goes into unnecessary detail about a teenager girl's pubic hair. In his short story, The Jaunt, where a father is thinking about his children growing up at home without him; the boy is thought about as simply "going through puberty" whereas the thoughts about his daughter are about how she should be starting to develop breasts.
Another comment mentioned another short story where a daughter, now grown, dwells on her dad cumming with her in his lap during an eclipse when she was like 9, but they don't mention the name of the story.
