Distinguish Rape of a child and Sodomy on a child

This article belongs to the series on comparison and differentiation of crimes and acts. Today, I shall distinguish the crimes of "Child rape” and “Sodomy on a child" pursuant to Article 112 and Article 115 of the 1999's Criminal Code.
In fact, several law students are confused and fail to differentiate those crimes. This article shall clarify the issue.
