This site doesn't make the definitions. If you want to make a suggestion to the dictionary databases that Jisho uses, then that's the proper venue to do it. Keep in mind that this is a dictionary, not an encyclopedia. The entries are not meant to be lengthy explanations, and definitely nothing about the usage in other languages would be relevant.

Erroneous definition
The definition of "lolicon" is problematic, and I'd like to persuade you to update it since it is misinformation and sexist.
The definition erroneously uses the definition of male paedophile. A paedophile is the attraction to prepubescent individuals, and pedophilia is the attraction itself to prepubescent individuals. The term "Lolita" comes from the novel and is only about an early adolescence girl. Lolita was depicted as 12 in the novel, and 14 in the film. 99% of the depictions of fictional minors in the lolicon genre have small breasts. Prepubescent children don't have breasts. They're flat as a board.
The shotacon entry doesn't say "female pedophile". This is sexist because it implies only men can have attractions to minors. Women can be attracted to female and/or male minors and men can be attracted to male minors.
Here is my proposed updated definition with better parity to shotacon:
ロリコン (lolicon) sometimes shortened to ロリ (loli), is a Japanese slang portmanteau of the phrase "lolita complex" and describes an attraction to early adolescent girls, or an individual with such an attraction, although it has become a blanket term to refer to any minor attracted person/attraction to a minor. Outside Japan, the term is used less often with this meaning, and is used to refer to a genre of manga and anime wherein mostly preadolescent or early adolescent female characters are depicted in a suggestive or erotic manner.
