I remember high school days and the phrase 'he took off like a raped ape.' Other than that, rape meant rape, except for all the underage sex that was going on which, had the guy been older would have been rape statutorily but wasn't because he was within two years of her age. Uhm, maybe rape isn't so cut and dried after all.

The type of rape you describe is always qualified with "statutory" to distinguish it from "forcible" rape. Nowadays, the PC police have caught up with the act of unlawful carnal knowledge, and it's become "sexual assault." But "forcible rape" is still a redundancy to most of us.
