There's no such thing as consensual statutory rape. By definition, you can't consent to rape. Call it non-forceful statutory rape if you need clarification, but let's not confuse consent with something else which the law says can never be given in a statutory rape situation.
I can understand the argument between rape and statutory rape though. I just think rape should be the standard, as you can use adjectives to describe it. Violent rape, date rape, statuary rape. Then if you have a preference for which one is worse, that's your prerogative.
