In the state of California the legal age of consent is 18, meaning that if you are over the age of 18 it is illegal for you to engage in sexual relations with a minor. If you engage in consensual sex with a person who tells you that he or she is over the age of consent, when in fact they are under the legal age you can be charged with statutory rape. Even if the willing participant does not wish to press charges against you, his or her guardian is allowed to do so. The situation may be a mere case of mistaken identity or the conniving scheme of an underage person to destroy your reputation; in either case you will be facing serious charges. A statutory rape conviction may result in a misdemeanor or felony conviction, fines, and/or registration as a sex offender. If you are convicted as a sex offender society is likely to view you in the same light as people who commit violent sex crimes, such as rape, sexual assault, and sexual battery. Unfortunately, many people do not see the difference between the two very different groups of people. A false accusation of statutory rape can be accompanied by ill treatment from your community, possibly including harassment and the loss of relationships between you and friends and/or colleagues.
