As stupid as it is yes he could, why don't the police go after the real criminals here? They don't arrest or even look into a woman being sexually abused, they just say I don't know if it was on our county line. The first time a woman or girl speaks up and nothing is done, this pisses them off and then they come off with lets get the boyfriend. There is a big difference in a 18-15 or 16 year old than a 14-15-16 you get the point sleeping with a 40 year old, that is statutory rape or when any woman or girl says no, or is drugged. But to go after someone just because they are dating and having sex before everyone else thinks they should be they are the ones that get hell for it, not the real bastards. Word of advice, DON'T TELL ANYONE IF YOU DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am a mom of a 15 year old and her boyfriend is 18, I thought they had sex and someone turned him in. They say a 15 year old is not as mature as a 18 year old, I can prove them wrong. Everyone matures differently and my daughter and her boyfriend act the same age and sometimes he acts younger. It is also known that girls mature 2 years before boys do. Good luck

Statutory rape is illegal sexual activity between two people when it would otherwise be legal if not for their age. The actual ages for these laws vary greatly from state-to-state, as do the punishments for offenders. Many states do not use the actual term "statutory rape," simply calling it rape or unlawful sexual penetration. These laws rarely apply only to intercourse, but rather to any type of sexual contact. Dating someone without sexual contact cannot be considered a form of statutory rape, and is almost never illegal.
All states have an "age of consent," or an age at which a person can legally consent to sexual activity and can then no longer be a victim of statutory rape. Some states also have laws that look at the age difference between the two people as well as their individual ages. All states have laws that have restrictions on the relationship between the two people, changing the age of consent, or the penalty, for sexual relations between a person of authority, such as a teacher, assistant coach, or tutor. These laws change, and can vary depending on other circumstances. For more information on how these laws apply in the various states, try the Answer Board.
Statutory rape charges can be brought up by the victim, parents of the victim, and in most states, they can be raised by the state. California has been a major example of this, filing charges against fathers of pregnant women, at the protest of both the women and the parents of the involved parties

Yes, it's illegal. The age of consent is 18 in California. If you have sex with anyone over the age of consent before you're 18, they could face charges. A person convicted of statutory rape must register as a sex offender...it's just not worth it, in terms of what it could do to your boyfriend's future.

I think it could be illegal if someone presses charges. Or that's what my parents always told me when I was a 16-year-old in California.
