Statutory rape is when an adult has sexual contact with a minor. It is illegal because minors can not consent, for the exception of romeo/juliet laws
"Hey Brenda, you hear about Peter being arrested for statutory rape last night, turns out he was having sex with a 14 year old! Its so disgusting..he's in his 40s! Im so glad that statutory rape law exists!"

Consensual sex with a child.
If children really couldn't consent, outlawing statutory rape would be redundant to just regular rape laws.

n. the legal concept that someone 18 or older having sex with someone younger than 18 is committing a felony. Members of NAMBLA advocate committing this with young boys, apparently. Even less than 100 years ago, it was common for men to marry teen girls as young as 13. I guess all those men committed statutory rape.
John is 18 and Jane is 17, and John was arrested and put in jail and now is a convicted felon even though Jane married him on her 18th birthday. What a crazy country we live in.

When the government treats teenagers like children by punishing anyone over the age of 18 who has sex with someone under 18
He was 18. She was 17. They had sex. He went to prison for statutory rape. They got back together when he was released a year later.

The act of an adult (18+), having consensual sex with someone under the age of 18 (varies from state to state, at least from 16-18), but due to state law, the minor cannot legally consent, so the adult gets fucked over for nothing even though no actual rape took place.
Even though my girlfriend is 16 and I'm 18 and she consented to us having sex, I was charged with statutory rape because her parents can't handle the fact that their daughter is a teenager with hormones and decided to try and send me to jail.

Someone eighteen or over having sexual intercourse with someone under the age of sixteen. Some people say it's pedofelia, others disagree.
Joe's gf is 14 and he's 18. If her mom finds out there fucking she can have him charged with statutory rape!
