Legal Protections For Minors
Summary
In California, crimes involving minors, such as kidnapping and statutory rape, are taken seriously. Relevant penal codes include California Penal Code § 207 for kidnapping, § 261.5 for statutory rape, and § 288 for lewd acts with a minor. Minors generally cannot legally consent to certain actions, especially sexual activities. If you have evidence, such as photos with metadata, it can support your case. Contact the California Attorney Generals Office or federal authorities for assistance, as crossing state lines may involve federal jurisdiction. There is no statute of limitations for kidnapping in California, allowing you to press charges even after several years.Full Conversation
