Wow, that's new to me, and also totally horrifying. A twelve year old is a child; that's not even "minor" yet.
What is wrong with the world?
(I'd say coercing sex acts out of anyone is rape, regardless of age, but it's especially awful when a child is involved. And for the record I don't actually think the age of consent should be 14, despite my own experience. 16 works just fine.)
