Is this considered rape?

If as a young child (under 18), you were "Seduced"/"Sededucted" by an older person of the same gender? However not really knowing much about Sex or being Gay. And did sexual stuff, such as, Give you a hand job, Fingered you, Licked you out or gave you a blowjob with out consent but you went along with it. Or made you do that stuff to them.
However at the time you didn't know what was happening but later on so maybe a couple years (Still under 18) you have reflected and disagreed with the situation?

i thought i would post a link : http://www.themix.org.uk/sex-and-relationships/single-life-and-dating/sexual-consent-15356.html
And say if you want to talk anymore feel free to post on here....
In the event of an adult (18+) having sex with a minnor (under 16) that would be concedered rape under the law as the legal age of consent is 16.
Hope you are ok

Even if it happened years ago, it can still be reported. However, as there will no longer be any DNA evidence, it makes prosecution less likely.
There are threads on here that relate to rape, so you may find it helpful to read them. One of them is about a case that's going through court.
What you're describing are sex offences, but it can only be rape if he penetrates his victim with his penis. This is why Fred Talbot, Chris Denning, Rolf Harris etc. could not be convicted of rape - but of other sexual offences instead.
Robert, that is a lot of helpful information there, thank you.
No, the offence is unlawful sexual intercourse. Footballer Graham Rix and teacher Jeremy Forrest were convicted of this offence after having sex with 15-year-old girls in separate cases.
In your case you hadn't concented to the sexual act and therefore it is rape in any cercamstance. Have you been able to speak to anyone about this?
Robbet is right you can still make a case even though it was years ago. Sexual assault and rape can leave the victim very confused and upset and it is a normal reaction for someone to question there sexuality after being abused in this way.
I understand how hard this must be for you and prehaps you may feel comfortable look at this site for extra support please don't worry if you don't feel ready https://www.victimsupport.org.uk/crime-info/types-crime/rape-sexual-assault-and-sexual-harassment
All the best

You're the victim; this was not your fault. He targeted you because you were vulnerable and he found an opportunity to sexually assault you. It doesn't make you homosexual. Sam (on another thread) has had bullies falsely claim that he must be gay to have been raped by men.
Have you told anyone other than us on this forum about what happened?
Is this man still in your life in any way?
This man is still in my life, but i try to keep my distance from him as much as possible. Because although he made me feel like this he has done a lot for my family and dont want to upset my other family members.
