Hi Esthersvirtue,

To me, yes, it's still rape when a child is involved, and also possibly if the same situation happened with an adult. There are many situations in which an adult can be approached in a violent way, sexually - and not resist for many reasons, including fear - and it would also still be rape. I believe a healthy sexual encounter would be between two consenting adults. Something other than that is rape or sexual assault, regardless of the age of the victims...whether they are adults or children, I believe.

Thinking of you - take good care of you.

Take care,
ErinBear
