What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? KS

If someone was 15 when they conceived and had a baby and the father is 17 and turned 18 a week later, is this unlawful voluntary sexual relations? And if so, is this a form of rape by law in any way? Mother wants to put baby up for adoption and read that if the baby was conceived through rape, she wouldn't need the fathers consent.

This answer assumes that the sexual relations were voluntary (notwithstanding the ages involved):

Yes, it is unlawful voluntary sexual relations. No, it is not rape under Kansas law (statutory or otherwise.)
