I'm not sure what other word to use, but here we make a distinction by calling it, literally translated, "taking advantage of sexually" which isn't as loaded as the word "rape". "Rape" simply means sex that isn't consensual. There are varying degrees of severity of that, but ultimately, the fact that it's a loaded term really isn't a bad thing because non-consensual sex is always a bad thing. If you're hesitating to call grooming "rape" because it's something you didn't think was all that bad, that should give you cause to take a step back and reevaluate that position. That's not something anyone should ever be doing, and trying to excuse it by saying "at least it's not forcible rape" fails to hold them accountable for that. --- This is my signature.
