The difference between sex grooming and statutory rape.

What is sex grooming?

Sex grooming is when a man/woman is involved in an unhealthy and toxic relationship with someone under the age of consent. Usually the perpetrators groom the victims at a young age and they take advantage of the fact that their victim is young, naive and vulnerable.

What is statutory rape?

Statutory rape is when a person that is older than the age of consent or is of the age of consent has a sexual relationship with someone who is younger than the age of consent. This is considered rape because if you are under the age of 18, then you are still illegal and by having sex with someone older than you, then that is rape. And the older person in the relationship usually gets arrested.
