Can a 19 year old guy date a 16 year old girl in California?

Answer 1

Of course a 16yo girl can date if she wants and the parents are fine with it.

However, if the 16-year-old girl is dating a person who is 18 years or older, sexual activity of any sort is illegal. This is called "statutory rape." Age of consent varies among states, but in California it is 18 years old.

Answer 2

There are no laws against dating. There are only laws regarding sexual contact.

A 20-year-old cannot legally have sex with a 16-year-old in California. The age of consent in California is 18.

Having sex with a minor is a misdemeanor if you are no more than 3 years older than the "victim." It is usually considered a felony if you are more than 3 years older than the "victim."

Yes, as long as no sex is involved until she is 18 and the parents are OK with you dating.
