Statutory Rape Laws in California (PC 261.5)

Statutory rape is a complex crime, and the consequences of this crime can differ based on the circumstances of your case. For instance, if you are an 18-year-old person who had sex with your 17-year-old significant other, the crime of statutory rape is handled much differently than if you are 33 and the victim is 17.

Due to the complexity of this crime and the serious consequences it carries, you should speak to an attorney immediately if you have been accused of statutory rape.

You could face up to three or four years in prison if you are convicted of statutory rape under PC 261.5. That is why you need to act now and find an attorney who can help you build a winning strategy.
