“statutory rape”

*AGE OF CONSENT*

.

*in ‘common law jurisdictions’, statutory rape is ‘non-forcible sexual activity’ in which 1 of the individuals is below the ‘age of consent’ (the age required to legally consent to the ‘behavior’)*

.

(although it usually refers to adults engaging in sexual contact with minors under the age of consent, it is a generic term, and very few jurisdictions use the actual term statutory rape in the language of ‘statutes’)

.

(different jurisdictions use many different statutory terms for the crime, such as…) 

sexual assault (SA)

rape of a child (ROAC)

corruption of a minor (COAM)

unlawful sex with a minor (USWAM)

carnal knowledge of a minor (CKOAM)

unlawful carnal knowledge (UCK)

sexual battery

carnal knowledge

.

(the terms child sexual abuse or child molestation may also be used, but statutory rape generally refers to sex between an adult and a sexually mature minor past the age of puberty, and may therefore be distinguished from ‘child sexual abuse’)

(‘sexual relations’ with a prepubescent child is typically treated as a more serious crime)

(in ‘statutory rape’, ‘overt force’ or ‘threat’ is usually not present)

(‘statutory rape laws’ presume ‘coercion’, because a ‘minor’ or ‘mentally handicapped adult’ is legally incapable of giving consent to the act)
