Their records will be sealed when they come of age so people can't know what their specific crime was but they will be registered sex offenders, at least that is my understanding and that is what is typical for offenders their age.

Fair enough, we have different legal terms from state to state, some use r@ape others use sexual assault and some use both depending on the specifics.

That's actually a pretty typical legal definition of r@pe in the states, on the upside forced sodomy is just as bad but it would be nice to not have to debate terminology when things like that happen.
