For the statutory rape charge, does the raper have to be over 18 and the victim under 18?

Yes.
It is odd it was classified as a 'statutory rape', when she said she was held AGAINST HER WILL and beaten.
That is in the report.
I thought statutory rape was consenual??
Alibi photos for lacrosse players questioned
Prosecutors reportedly claim prints were doctored, don't show correct time
The photos in question was taken, defense sources say, at approximately 12:41 a.m. and shows the accuser calmly being helped into a car to leave the party. Along with other time-stamped photos from earlier in the evening, defense attorneys will claim that there wasn't enough time for a rape to take place.
But prosecutors will argue, that photo actually shows the accuser being dropped off at the party, not leaving it, and that it was taken well before midnight. Prints taken from digital cell phone cameras have time stamps, but can be altered, digital photography experts told Time. Only the cameras themselves have true embedding time date to correspond with photos taken.
