California Age Gap Consequences

Summary

In California, the age of consent is 18, making it illegal for an 18-year-old to engage in sexual activity with a 16-year-old. This can lead to statutory rape charges, which may be classified as a misdemeanor or felony based on factors such as the age difference and the nature of the relationship. Kissing is generally not the focus unless there is sexual intent. Dating itself is not illegal, but any sexual activity could result in legal consequences. Factors influencing felony charges include coercion or force. Understanding these nuances can help avoid potential legal issues.
