Yes, but even when reporting an individual incident of child rape, it is termed child abuse by the media.

In this case I agree. We shouldn't be using euphemisms because clergy are associated with the crime. Although in general when regarding non-clergy pedophiles the media does refer to it as child rape. I thought you were referring to the abuse reports and the scandal in general.

I'm using a strict definition of rape though. Molesting doesn't count as rape in my book. Could a mod attach these posts into the other thread?
