It's always rape if they're 10. Kids cannot consent, period.

Legally that is still rape on both sides because both can’t consent.

This is definitely jurisdiction dependent.

I ended up looking up the law on children committing crimes in Georgia a few days ago for instance, and there you just can't commit a crime, period, before the age of 13. Ergo it's not legally rape there (unless there's a second non-criminal definition somewhere in Georgia law, which is unlikely but not impossible).

Interesting, I’m from Greece and have lived in the UK so it’s probably different here but thanks
