    I don’t think you got what I meant, not going into detail myself on the whole actuality of physically abusing a “child”. My Point was that though, they physically engaged in the sexual abuse of underaged/children. As for the second half of what you said "different states/territories have thier own distinct rules and regulations of age difference between / statutory statues.

      Oh gotcha. My obscure point there was intended to be that if it is all called rape, but in some places, some of those thing categorized as rape aren’t illegal or even abnormal (child marriages for example). Then when people here rape their first thought will be “what sort of rape”. Better terminology can change that first thought to “what a bastard” in more minds for more cases.
