Statutory rape also describes consensual sex between 2 minors, although over here if it's established that the two are going out the gardaí won't file a case on the grounds that it'd do more harm than good. It's really just to speed up rape cases involving teenagers.

Sadly those who make the decisions involving teenagers haven't been within a foot of one in years. As always.
