In this thread's context, I wouldn't call it sexual attraction, but just an issue of sexuality.
When I was 15, I made friends with this guy who was 20. It was a strange, temporary circumstance because I lived at a hotel with my parents and he was a guest and our folks made friends. I was attracted to him, and I was a virgin, had no intention of intercourse. He liked me, but kept his distance saying in regards to me being 15 and him being 20, "Fifteen'll get you twenty".
I think it's totally normal and natural for a person to see another physically adult-looking person's body and momentarily think of them sexually. As long as they don't inappropriately act on it.
Rape is a whole different issue.
I grew up in a crazy place. My sister's friend married her step-father! He had adopted her, and when they married, she didn't have to change her name.
