Am pretty sure force-able rape means whatever the news wants it to mean.

No, it doesn't. The law (and the article) distinguishes between rape (which he plead guilty to) and forcible rape. Forcible rape is the worst kind; it carries a life sentence. He plea bargained those charges away by confessing to the "lesser" crimes of rape without force (which doesn't mean the sex was consensual--it just means he didn't hold her down or use violence against her, although he probably did in some cases.)
