Why do people differentiate rape and child molestation?
They both exist for the same ends, are both physically abusive, but they exist under different legal descriptions. Is there any reason why child molestation shouldn't just be called rape, aside from the seperate issue of statutory rape?

Because 'molestation' and 'rape' entail two different things? Molestation being touching and rape being sex?

Would unnecessary touching/feeling be considered harassment? There has to be a sexual component to the deed.

They're both sexual abuse, but molestation is only making sexual advances while rape means a sexual act actually occured. How hard could that be to tell apart?
