marie, IMO Karen's right - and understates the case. Like it or not, most 14/15-year-old boys would leap at any chance of sex with a reasonably attractive woman of any age (up to about 40-50, anyway, and probably more if she looked younger). Force isn't necessary. Seduction? LOL, as if... It might not be the best thing for the youth. That's why it's statutory rape. And the woman is probably not very stable or happy to want so immature a lover (jeez, the thought of myself at 14... ugh). But I'd say 99.9% of the time it isn't rape and shouldn't be classed as such. BTW, until about 1890 it was legal, common and not an issue for boys to marry at 14 (same age they'd leave school and start work), and girls at 12. It was thought of as unwise for girls below ~14 to have children - because it was dangerous and the children were less likely to thrive. In Regency times, noblewomen were presented at 15-17 and were thought of as too old for a good marriage by 21 or so.
