The addition of the term 'forcible' if there is an explanation, may have been to distinguish it from statutory rape, where a sex act could occur without force and with the consent of the minor,
although the consent would not be legal, since the minor doesn't have the right to consent under statutory rape laws, therefore the sex becomes non-consensual, and thus is by definition rape.
