It's legal in California. ┑(￣Д ￣)┍
Heck, even 14 and 24 is legal, with consent.
- SB 145
Hmmm I’m pretty sure when it comes that, the sex is legal between the two minors of the same age not an adult and a child.
Ie. 14 year old and a 14 year old.
that does NOT make it right for a grown adult to have a relationship especially a SEXUAL relationship WITH A CHILD
That is why I referenced the Senate bill.
Yes, a sexual relationship between a 14 year old and 24 year old is legal, so long as it is consensual.
I'm not condoning it, but that's the law here.
It's 14/24 to 17/27. Minimum age is 14, but age of consent is 18.
The SB has to do with equalizing het and LGBT+ sex offender registration, particularly according to act. It also enforces the ten year gap.
Basically, you still get a trial, but if they find that it was consensual and the only repercussions would have been SO registry, then they will NOT be registered.
Again, not condoning it.
Nope. Absolutely not. There are certainly worse laws on the books elsewhere in the world. I am certainly not condoning it.
I'm just pointing out something written into law in a state in the USA.
A ten year gap isn't even feasible until after the age of 25. Human brains aren't fully developed until such time, so it's gross (in my opinion) when it's earlier.
Nope, its legal to have a platonic relationship but a sexual relationship between an adult and minor is illegal everywhere.
They're married. In the US, only thirteen states outlaw child marriages and of those, more than half were put into law only in the last two years. The oldest state against it goes back to 2018. And of the states that remain without the law, four of them have no minimum age at all for consent; their parents can choose to marry them off whenever. There are other ways to go through with the marriage with legal consent despite age as well, such as the minor being pregnant or emancipated.
Once they are married, the age difference doesn't matter because everything will happen behind closed doors. What can be done after that are the same grounds as constitutes a divorce, like proven domestic abuse, affairs, or separation.
Yes, it's legal.... Does that make it ethical? It's creepy to see stories with teenagers and grown men as love interests in this day and age.
he's... 24 SHES 16
