The term "
statutory rape" is used in some legal jurisdictions to refer to
sexual activities in which one person is below the age required to legally consent to the behavior.
[1] Although it usually refers to adults engaging in sex with
minors under the
age of consent,
[1] it is a generic term, and very few jurisdictions use the actual term "statutory rape" in the language of statutes.
[2] Different jurisdictions use many different statutory terms for the crime, such as "sexual assault", "rape of a child", "corruption of a minor", "carnal knowledge of a minor", "unlawful carnal knowledge", or simply "
carnal knowledge". In statutory rape, overt force or threat need not be present. The laws presume coercion, because a minor or
mentally challenged adult is
legally incapable of giving consent to the act.
