Many people believe that "men can't be raped" (by women. Other men is a whole 'nother story).
The Southperry Obscenity rule doesn't allow discussion of the mechanics of sex, so I'll just put it this way:
They believe that while women can be violated by force, if a man (or boy) became a father then he must have been aroused. He must have wanted and enjoyed it at some level. Therefore, "seduced" rather than "raped". And only his being underage makes it statutory rape.
Apparently the NZ courts believe this too, or they wouldn't let the women assailants off with light sentences.
