16 is the age of consent in many states. Plus he’s only 19, and it’s unusual for a 3 year age difference to be considered staturory rape

In Oregon all sex under age 18 is ILLEGAL. Adults having sex with girls under 18 is statutory rape. Not sure about California, probably more liberal.

According to this site: LINK the age of consent in LA is 17.

Some prosecutor could get real famous real fast. Might not be a bad idea as far as his political career goes.

It’s one thing I kind of find odd, that as a general rule, states that vote Republican generally have laxer statutory rape laws.

The main problem I have with many statutory rape laws is that one day, sex is legal, the next, it might not be. It seems too arbitrary to me. Age difference is a much more reasonable way to go, IMO.
