Definitely California does, have you seen some of the shit your boy Anthony Weiner has written and pushed for? Dude is a first class pervert and should have his laptop investigated.
I believe Newsom sign a bill into law that changed this. “The law should treat all sex predators who solicit minors the same — as a felony, regardless of the intended victim’s age,” Newsom said in a statement. “Full stop.”
These are the laws relating to child molestation:
PC 288 (Lewd or Lascivious Acts with a Child): This primary law addresses lewd acts with a minor under 14 with sexual intent, and is a felony. Penalties range from 3 to 10 years in state prison, depending on the victim's age and whether force was used. Acts with 14 or 15 year olds when the offender is significantly older can be a felony ("wobbler").
PC 288.5 (Continuous Sexual Abuse of a Child): Committing three or more sexual or lewd acts with a child under 14 over three months or more is a felony, especially if the offender has access to the child. It can result in a sentence of 6 to 16 years.
PC 288.7 (Sexual Acts with a Child Under 10): Specific sexual acts with a child 10 or younger by an adult are felonies. Penalties are severe, ranging from 15 years to life, or 25 years to life.
PC 287 (Oral Copulation with a Minor): This can be a felony depending on the minor's age and use of force.
PC 289 (Sexual Penetration with a Foreign Object): This is a felony under certain conditions, such as the victim being unable to consent or force being used.
