Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

Dating underage

I know that in California, it is illegal to

have sex with somebody under 18, but I

was wondering what the extent of that law

is. Is it legal to date somebody under 18 if

no sexual intercourse occurs? And what

does the law define as ''sexual

intercourse''?

Re: Dating underage

Sexual offenses include more than intercourse. Certain types of touching of the genitals, rump etc can qualify as a sexual crime.
