And underage people cannot have consensual sex because, by definition, they are under the age of consent. Even if they both agree, both want it, and no violence or force is involved, it is legally rape.

Even if they both agree, both want it, and no violence or force is involved, it is legally rape because consent cannot be given. This is why underage people can't enter into legal contracts, get married, and can't do any of a number of things doable by those who have attained majority.

ABH.. GBH?
Or are you suggesting that rape has always an 'added crime'?
