Statutory rape is a term used in some jurisdictions to describe sexual activity in which one of the individuals is below the age of consent, the age required to legally consent to the activity. Although it usually refers to adults engaging in sexual contact with minors under the age of consent, it is a generic term, and very few jurisdictions use the actual term statutory rape in the language of statutes.
