So is date rape not rape, then? I mean, the person isn't -harmed- by it. The only thing they're actually harmed by is the drugging, not the rape itself. So, by your logic of "a victim must be harmed", then date rape is not rape.
If you're really talking about children, that's not statutory rape, it's actual rape. Children cannot consent to sex, and those who say they do are shown to have experienced psychological harm. If we are talking about consenting sex between sexually mature teenagers then no, obviously that is not rape.
"Sexual intercourse with a person who has not yet reached the age of consent (determined by state law), whether or not the sexual act is against that person's will." That is the definition of statutory rape. Whether adult to child, or child to child, it still applies. What if it's an underage horny teenager who had sex with their step-guardian and the whole thing was the teenager's decision? In this case, the teenager was not harmed, but instead had a great time.

Maybe you should ask someone who has been date raped if they have been harmed or not.

Or what about in one of the statutory rape cases in which the child has fun? Is that not rape then because the child wasn't harmed?
