Am I the only one who is bothered by the word "rape" being used for this kind of situation? When I think of rape, I think of it being completely non-consensual. It doesn't seem like this was against the kid's will.

I think we all knew kinds in high school (and possibly even junior high) who were having sex, often with people who were of legal age, but it was consensual.

I definitely think having sex with a minor is wrong, but I just don't like the word "statutory rape". But maybe it is just me.

This is a term that I think makes more sense.
