Molesting is taking advantage of someone sexually without their 'intellectual' consent, thereby usually making it applicable to those not yet reaching 'legal' adulthood or the 'age of consent' defined by society.
Raping is taking advantage of anyone sexually without their physical consent, regardless of their mental state of being.
Statutory Rape appears to be a specially defined exception to the latter involving one adult and one non-adult that seems only to be enforced when some party (usually the parents) makes prosecutors do their jobs.

In raping there is actual sexual intercourse and the woman might become prognant. Molesting does not imply that act. It could even be non-sexual, like following the person a lot, but usually is sexual touching without consent.
