Is it statutory rape if I’m 18 and he’s 16?

Question

We live in California btw Idk if that makes a difference. But we go to the same high school and we’ve been going out since I was 17, and obviously there’s things we both want to do but I don’t want to get in trouble for the age difference.

Answer

Yes, it is. The age of consent in California is 18.

Answer

In California it’s illegal for minors to have sex with one another regardless of their age. So even if it’s two 16 year olds it’s still illegal and they can be charged with a misdemeanor. It’s the same for someone 18 and 16, they can be charged with a misdemeanor. If it’s more than 3 years age difference between the two people they can be charged with a felony.

Answer

google the age of consent in cali. it’s probably 15 or 16, therefore it’s not rape

Answer

I think it depends on the age of consent in California.
