Um, I guess there isn't a Ukranian word for rape?

Um, I think even US statutes actually use phrases such as "sexual relations" rather than "rape." Um, particuarly in stuff like statutory rape, because the mere word "rape" implies force/lack of consent and neither force nor lack of consent are necessary elements of statutory rape.
