What's the opposite of “cradle-snatcher”?
1
If a cradle-snatcher is someone middle-aged or older who has a romantic or sexual relationship with a much younger partner. What do we call the much younger person in that relationship?
What do we call a person who is physically and romantically attracted to much older people?

I think you need to rephrase your question. Otherwise, my answer would be gerontophilia which is probably not what you were looking for.
- sex attraction toward old persons. (M-W)
Gerontophile:
- someone who is sexually attracted to old people. (Collins)

I've heard the term "grave robber" being used that way, although I always found it distasteful.
Urban Dictionary:
The opposite of a cougar, a woman over the age of 18 who dates older men. Differentiated from a gold digger because the men the Grave Robber dates are not necessarily rich. Also not considered jail bait, as said woman is over age, however if she was under age she would be considered jail bait.
"Ick is totally hitting on Jason right now..." "I know she's such a grave robber"

So someone who robs graves is sexually attracted to older people? I think not. Yes, I get it is slang. Yes, I've heard it but used with this meaning: to steal from graves. Good answers require a little work, but the bounty expires in a week and you're likely to earn more upvotes if you "show" the term is also used in the "May December romance" context. EDIT: See?

@Mari-LouA Heh, I didn't even notice the bounty until you pointed it out :) Just saw the question and thought "hey, that sounds like that term I hate." Honestly, I much prefer "toy boy." Super cute. "Grave robber" seems unnecessarily mean to the older party. Note: entirely unbiased over here. Haven't robbed any graves. Yet.

A toy boy:
- A male lover who is much younger than his partner. (ODO)
UD defines also toy girl, but it seem to be a less common expression:
- Like A Boy Toy Except A Girl Instead. Will do anything for the male even though she knows she is just being used for his pleasure. No intimate connection.

@HotLicks "Old digger" just sounds like an old man who digs for a living. Or an old man who is currently digging, I suppose. Or someone who's been seen around a lot and for whatever reason is called "Digger." "Say, you know that guy?" "Yeah, that's just ol' Digger. Don't worry about him." "He single?" "Yeah." "He rich?" "Yeah, but he's like three times your age." "Ew, never mind."

@HotLicks "Old digger" just sounds like an old man who digs for a living. Or an old man who is currently digging, I suppose. Or someone who's been seen around a lot and for whatever reason is called "Digger." "Say, you know that guy?" "Yeah, that's just ol' Digger. Don't worry about him." "He single?" "Yeah." "He rich?" "Yeah, but he's like three times your age." "Ew, never mind."

A gold digger is "a woman who seeks gifts and expensive pleasures from men" (The American Heritage Dictionary, 1973).

The OP is asking for a genderless term. See: "His/her age"

But gold diggers aren't attracted to age, just to money.

I would consider "gold digger' to be genderless, And while it doesn't demand that the "target" be older, it's certainly common that that's the case. (To assure the right connotation is read, one could always use "(g)old digger".)
