minors can never give consent. so they are probably referencing statutory rape. still a henous act by another name.
True, but the way it is worded in the article, "ever forced to have sex against will", it is evident that the author intended to indicate forcible rape, avoiding the ambiguous, or if you will, legally overloaded, words like "consent" and "rape". He also adds "ever" in order not to limit the incident by age.
