There was a time in California where the age of majority for females was 18 and 21 for males, so an 18 female could be charged with statutory rape for sexual contact with a 20.11 year old male.

The bill is intended to target sexual predators, but many youth advocates say that by focusing on age, the new law will confuse teens, make their sexual activities more clandestine and expose them to other risks, including abuse, early pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

A complex series of laws come into play to answer your question because it involves what kind of contact, including verbal, so it is more than just sexual intercourse but sexual contact and or infuence, so yes, you could be charged with some sort of a crime/s by the fact that you had a relationship with a minor, from contributing to the delinquency of a minor to statory rape especially with an age gap of more than 2 years. 18 Illegal to have intercourse with minor (not a spouse) Well, if there is NO physical contact (fondling, groping or sex) then the parents can still do some things.

If they want to, they can obtain a restraining order preventing you from seeing her.

But in that respect the law has not changed, says Ms. In the case of, say, a 15- and a 19-year-old, if the 19-year-old is the skating coach, "it would be a crime, as it has always been." "The fact that it's less than five years doesn't make it automatically legal.

It just means that it's not automatically illegal." Another area of concern for critics is that it remains illegal for anyone under 18 to participate in anal intercourse - critics say this targets gay male teenagers - even though the law has been struck down as unconstitutional by many provincial courts of appeal.
