"Statutory rape" is a term that seems to mean, "It's not really rape, it's just a legal technicality that we have to pursue." If it's not really rape, then it shouldn't use the word at all.

"Molestation" is a term that seems to mean, "Something inappropriate that wasn't actually sex." I figure that term can still be kept, although my definition of it could use some improvement.

I want to eliminate the confusion and prosecute only those situations that really are "rape rape", with additional punishment for rapes committed against young humans lacking the legal ability to consent.
