New California bill would lower penalties for adults who have sexual relations with a minor
A new bill headed to Governor Gavin Newsom's desk would lower penalties for adults who have consensual sex with a minor if the offender is within 10 years of age with the victim.
SB 145 passed in both houses of the State Legislature late Monday evening.
"If signed into law, a 24-year-old could have sexual relations with a 15-year-old child without being required to register as a sex offender," State Senator Shannon Grove wrote in a tweet.
Under current law, while it is illegal for an adult to have consensual sex with a teenager between 14 and 17 years old, who cannot legally give consent, vaginal intercourse between the two does not require the offender to be listed on the state’s sex offender registry, as long as the offender is within 10 years of age of the minor. Instead, the judge has the discretion to decide, based on the facts of the case, whether the sex offender registration is warranted.
Other forms of intercourse such as oral and anal intercourse require sex offender registration.
State Senator Scott Wiener, who presented the bill, said the existing law “disproportionately targets LGBT young people for mandatory sex offender registration since LGBT people usually cannot engage in vaginal intercourse."

While I agree with you, there has to be some way to prevent that happening without a 10 year gap clause. Like, say a three year gap. That way, you're not punishing people in the same grade.Martin Hash wrote: Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:14 am In today's promiscuous times, this law is needed. Prisons already have too many 20-year olds because they shtupped their 17-year old girlfriends.
WA has this law but with a 3 year gap. It needs to be raised; 10 seems extreme but I'm judging young adults by the standards of when I was 25. Today's 25-year olds are still very immature, and kids fucking is ubiquitous.Xenophon wrote: Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:51 amWhile I agree with you, there has to be some way to prevent that happening without a 10 year gap clause.

Today's 25 year olds are stupid for the most part, no doubt. But I think the law should apply to 16-19 year olds. I can't make myself believe that a 14 year old can consent in a mature way. This 10 year nonsense is just aching to be abused by pedophiles, which I believe was the implicit intent, given the bill's author.Martin Hash wrote: Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:56 amWA has this law but with a 3 year gap.
