Loli-con, or Rorikon (ロリコン) is the Japanese (or Engrish) term for "Lolita complex" (derived from the novel Lolita), the sexual attraction to underage girls. It is used to refer to anime, manga, and other visual forms of art that contain sexual/erotic representations of underage girls, and also to refer to people who are sexually attracted to underage girls (and who are not themselves underage).
"Complex" is abbreviated as "con", rather tham "com", because Japanese words can't end in an "m", but can end in a "n" (simplified).
Generally speaking, loli-con's lolitas are older than 12 and younger than 16 and this is actually outside the clinical definition of pedophilia. Yet this is usually confused with pedophilia with obvious result that those people who are loli-con are believed by opponents of pedophilia to have a tendency to act violently against children or prefer sex with children. The fact is that despite Japan producing most of loli-con materials, violence against Children are well below that of those countries with explicit laws prohibiting child pornography. Those younger than 12, most notably Sakura from CCS have also been a focus but this is an exception rather than a norm.
Shota-con is the underage-boy equivalent of loli-con.
