Statutory Rape in California

What kind of evidence is required for a prosecutor to even look at a case like this?

I had a gay friend living with me for 11 months, and I'm gay. He moved out because he's a psycho, and they want laptops I bought etc or they say they'll file "statutory rape".
 
😕 i have an aunt in redding.... anyway. im sure its all talk and they cant really do anything. you two are gay, but, did you have sex? if no then there shouldnt be anything to worry about.
 
I'm 19 now, he's 16. He was 15 and I was 18.

Yes, it is practically black mail. Let him keep living here free, or give them sh*t forever, until the Statute of Limitations to file runs out.

Whether we had sex or not doesn't really matter, they'll file just the same.

What counts as "evidence" though?

That's an interesting question... because really, homosexuals can't have sexual intercourse. What qualifies as sex for statutory rape? Oral? Anal? Gerbils?

In other words you did... sucks that you'll have to register as a sex offender for the rest of your life.

You are an idiot, yes it matters, if you had sex with a 15 year old you are guilty of statutory rape and will be convicted. Meaning if you had sex with him he has proof, if not then you should be golden. Don't have sex with minors regardless of your orientation.
 
Get "them" on tape demanding this, in person. Blackmail is illegal.

I have no sympathy for any POS that tries to pull crap like this.

 
Tell him to fvck off, he's not going to do jack sh!t. VERY few people ever follow up on bogus lawsuit threats - it's just an empty threat is all.

Also: learn to write coherently.
 
If you haven't already, I'd suggest you start keeping records of the threats that they're making against you. Blackmail is definitely illegal, and proof of it would greatly damage any case they could bring against you.

I really don't know what type of evidence or proof they'd need, but I'd imagine medical records and such would be the most common type. If this guy's waited months/years to report, and you have that proof of blackmail attempts, then I'd think many courts would simply throw the case out.

I think I remember reading somewhere that california's statutory rape law is different from many other states in that if the age difference between the two parties is less than two years (and the sex was consensual), then the penalty is either reduced or dropped completely. I could be wrong about that, though.
 
Well there is no "proof" because it didn't happen. I just wanna make sure a convincing sob story doesn't count as "proof".


He only threatens this because I made him leave and go live with his welfare supported parents because he wouldn't go to school.
 
There's no way you can get in trouble since there is no proof at all. You're safe, tell him he's a piece of crap when you next see him.
 
i wonder if the mods can change your handle to "Resident NAMBLA Member"

moral: don't take in any psycho 15 year olds.
 
I'm not attracted to him, so NAMBLA isn't really applicable.

His parents here are supported by the welfare system, his parent in Missouri just had no electricity and other stuff. I thought I'd be doing him a favor, but he never took advantage of anything, never went to school, never tried to improve his life or anything.
