Actually there is a distinction between rape and molestation. They are different crimes with different penalties and almost every state treats them differently. Rape almost always involves sexual intercourse. At least that the language used in NYS state law.

If you look up the world "old" on this page, you see all the various legal distinctions

Who cares about "legal" distinctions when the issue is the trauma to children?
