Unlawful Sexual Intercourse
In California, unlawful sexual intercourse is one of the most severe of all types of criminal allegations, and has serious repercussions. Commonly referred to as ‘statutory rape”, unlawful sexual intercourse may be defined as a forced intercourse between a minor and an adult. However, in some cases, depending on the age of the alleged perpetrator and of the alleged victim, the defendant may only be found to be guilty of a misdemeanor crime.
California Penal Code Section 261.5 has stated that any individual who is involved in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor who is no more than three years younger or older than the perpetrator may be subjected to a misdemeanor crime. Since misdemeanors are a less serious type of crime with less severe penalties, people charged with a misdemeanor generally are subjected to imprisonment in a county jail or state prison for a period not exceeding one year. However, an adult who engages in an act of unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor less than two years younger than the adult is liable for a civil penalty not to exceed two thousand dollars ($2,000).
Depending on the circumstances of your case, R.J. Manuelian may be able to get your charges reduced.
