REPORTING CONSENSUAL SEX INVOLVING MINORS

Is there a legal difference between “sexual activity” and “voluntary sodomy, oral copulation, or sexual penetration”? If voluntary sodomy, oral copulation, or sexual penetration between a person who is 21 years of age or older and a minor who is under 15 years of age is considered “sexual assault” and that is reportable conduct, then why do we maintain confidentiality when there is “sexual activity” involving a minor 14 or 15 with persons less than 10 years older, and we maintain confidentiality with “sexual activity” involving two people between the ages of 14 & 20? Thanks for your feedback!
