California’s age of consent is 18, but the state also has a ‘3 year rule’. If the sex is consensual and they are within three years of age, the Statutory Rape charge is a misdemeanor. Under normal sentencing guidelines, she’d get a few hundred dollars in fines, a six months of informal (no reporting) probation, and would NOT have to register as a sex offender. It’s a fairly “slap on the wrist” punishment as sex crimes go.

does california have a deliquency of a minor charge?

also, some states have a “get out of jail free” clause if the mother and father marry.

This is assuming 1. she is not already married and 2. the child is actually his.

Well if she was 20 and he was 16 then I guess that would make it more than 3 years.

Why isn’t the lesbian who molested Chastity Bono when she was 11 arrested? She should be in prison also for statutory rape and Cher who was the accessory to the crime.
