What is the punishment for having s*x as a minor?

Question

so two minors had s*x, in september of last year, and the DA has become aware of this and is choosing to press charges. since the DA has up to one year to file a case, it was filed three days ago. what is the punishment that the older of the two minors will most likely recieve? [being as the older one is the only one that gets in trouble]

by the way, no, I am not either of these people. I just know of a case like this taking place right now, and really need to know what is going to happen in the near future because the older minor has a court date set for this monday, and I want to know whats going to happen.

Answer 1

well they are going to feel giukty they can porbaly get STD's or pregnancy there can be a lot of different consequences towrds this kind of thing

Answer 2

Haley, besides possibility of pregnancy and/or STD's there is always the person's reputation to consider.  I realize that young kids don't think of this at all when becoming sexually active and that a lot of them actually believe by being active it makes them look  more grown up.  But sad reality is that a lot of these kids aren't even aware of what may happen and how this may affect them in years to come.  Sad but it is all part of live and growing up, and we all have to learn at our own pace.  Suppose besides having to deal with parents the only other punishment might be getting the beats from the girls older brother (if she has one).  Also if the authorities are involved sounds more like an unwanted sexual advancement.

Answer 3

What the f*ck city do you live in? If anyone reported that where I live (San Francisco) they'd laugh and ignore them.

Do you live in the boonies of California or something?!

How is this trial even possible?

And I'm pretty sure the CA penal codes are referring to 18 y/o+

Unless it's rape I don't think you can be a s*x offender at the age of 15

Answer 4

both are minors... both have to deal with their parents.  Sounds like there is much more to the story if the DA is involved.

Answer 5

uh... pregnancy, STD, feeling of guilt, loss of virginity, possible grounding from parents, feeling of shame

Answer 6

there are numerous code sections that could apply depending on what they did.  Due to the one minors age being 13, more than likely the code section the other was charges with was:

288(a) PC:  Any person who willfully and lewdly commits any lewd or lascivious act, including any of the acts constituting other crimes

provided for in Part 1, upon or with the body, or any part or member thereof, of a child who is under the age of 14 years, with the intent

of arousing, appealing to, or gratifying the lust, passions, or sexual desires of that person or the child, is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for three,

six, or eight years.

They could also charge:

261.5(b) PC: Any person who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is not more than three years older or three years younger than the perpetrator, is guilty of a misdemeanor.

In California, minors can be charged with having s*x with another minor.  depending on the ages, one or both can be charged if the District Attorney so chooses.

If the older minor is convicted, he can be required to register as a s*x offender under 290 PC.

Answer 7

it depends on the adge of the two

like if one is 10 and the other one is 12 the might not get in two mutch truble sints i belive kids around that age explor thear own bodey and etch others

but if the are like 5 7 the might not get in truble but the parients

might becose the police might expect that on or both parients have been doing sexaul things to them witch caulsed them to have s*x

do sexaul things

but if one is like 14 / 16 the probley wont get in truble sints people around that age start having s*x or have for a while

Answer 8

I dont know what you are talking about. Its not illegal for 2 minors to have s*x. Period.

Answer 9

2 minors had s*x.  What are the ages?  If one of them was 18 or older at the time, that person could be convicted.  Two minors, the same age having s*x isn't against the law.  In CA, If he is 18 and she is 16 the DA could press charges against him for statutory rape, the two years' age difference would make him guilty of a misdemeanor, which carries lesser penalties than If he were three years older, where it would be a felony.
