Statutory rape:

If the age difference with a minor is 3 years or less it is a misdemeanor. If more it is a wobbler. Meaning prosecution has discretion to charge it as either a misdemeanor or a felony.

California recognizes a reasonable belief of the minors age (that not a minor) as an affirmative defense. Call me to set up an appointment.
