    Misdemeanor Statutory Rape Charge in California
    My question involves criminal law for the state of: California

    I was convicted of a misdemeanor statutory rape charge I was 19 she was 16, we were dating and we had sex twice. We broke up her parents were pissed and she told people at school and they told the teachers so I end up going to court not going to trial taking the plea offer. I have 3 years probation with 45 days of the adult offender work program. I do not have to register for 290 or sex offender registration. My questions are:

    • what happens after probation and the work program?
    • is this going to affect me with colleges and work?
    • I was planning on being a teacher is that not possible anymore?
    • can I get this erase or expunged?
    •who can see this charge and who can't?

    Well if you don't have to register as a sex offender that's a plus. This will show up on any criminal background check. No you likely can't get it expunged. It could very well affect your admission to college or employment. That's up to the admissions office and the employer if they want you in their college or as their employee.

    First you have to get through college before you can even think about being a teacher, don't you? These days I'm not sure so many schools would hire teachers with statutory rape convictions but you never know.

    Even if a school were to hire you, if a parent, student, teacher or anyone were to find out about the charge they could put pressure on the administration to fire you. Nothing is private with the internet.

    You are very lucky you did not have to register as a sex offender, being a registered sex offender would be very hard on your life, but also you did not go to prison for a sex offense because sex offenders have been getting killed in california state prison.

    Even though im no lawyer i do have some knowledge in this situation. Because i to was once charged with this type of crime and got the charges dropped.

    So the answer to your many questions.


    • what happens after probation and the work program? Id advise you to google this
    • is this going to affect me with colleges and work? Google this
    • I was planning on being a teacher is that not possible anymore? You cannot become a teacher anymore, why would you want to become a teacher? You just had a relationship with an underage girl how would you conduct yourself around other teenage girls. Best bet is to go get an evaluation upon this matter
    • can I get this erase or expunged? Google this
    •who can see this charge and who can't?
    Employers can see the charge anybody who will run your name will on internet sites will look this information up.

    "Google this?" How is he going to find answers on this on Google? Every school is different and everyone's experience after probation is going to be different. Really? Why would he want to be a teacher? He, too is a teenager in reality. 19 is an adult and a teen. Is it possible he would try something with a teen student in his 20s? Maybe but I would hope he learned his lesson on this one.

    It depends on what someone goes to jail as a sex offender. Most times in prison they go after child molesters. You didn't even really answer any of his questions though for someone who has "experience" in this subject and had charges dropped.

    As you dont know sex offenders are the same thing as being a child molester, if he went to prison and if the inmates find out what why he is in there for a sex offense he will get assaulted look it up its proof. It boggles my mind that you think that being child molester isnt the same thing as a sex offender which it is. Child molester is a sex offense hence being a registered sex offender, in the eyes of any inmates in prison under 18 is still a child, he would be labeled as a child molester. My experience is involving myself with a 14 year old girl that is the only experience i need for this type of situation.

    A conviction for misdemeanor PC 261.5 is not an automatic bar to employment as a credentialed teacher in CA. Though, it will almost certainly concern any potential employer - not to mention parents.

    No they aren't. They have to register but when you click on someone's name, it tells you what they are on the registry for. There are people who got put on the registry because they peed near a school or a park. So that's NOT the same thing as being a child molester. Also there are people on there for sex offenses toward adults. That's NOT the same thing as a child molester. Any sexual predator - whether the victim is a child or an adult - is a heinous person. But not all people charged with sex offenses are pedophiles or child molesters. There are guys who have been charged because the girl lied about her age. There was a story like a year ago about this 18 or 19 year old who had never really dated and he tried Tinder or something, met a girl. She lied about her age. They hooked up. He finds out she's 14. She AND her mother even told the judge "please don't punish him or make him register, I/she lied." The judge wanted to "make an example" out of him and using dating apps. I think he appealed it. I can't remember what happened after.

    Did you know she was 14? That's much worse than what this guy in the OP did. How old were you? Obviously a legal adult. YOU would have gotten it in prison for sure, yes. A 19 year old and 16 year old? Probably not.

    I never said that you can't find anything on Google moron. I said that when it comes to "what happens after probation" or "Can I still be a teacher?" Those things can differ based on the person. I said people have different experiences that might not apply to what is found on Google. Why are YOU even here?

    Otherwise consensual sexual relations between an adult and a minor of age 16 (or, two minors) is charged as PC 261.5 in CA. If more than three years apart, it can be a felony. If less than three years, it is a misdemeanor. Neither are registerable offenses here. In this instance, the OP appears to have been charged and convicted of PC 261.5 as a misdemeanor which is not an automatic bar to teacher credentialing or employment in education ... oddly enough. But, then, not even DV or dope are bars to employment, either.

    Well like i said the charges were dropped for an unknown reason, i was 22 at the time, and yes i knew she was 14. But i did not have to go to prison.
    You are missing the point of being a sex offender, he would still have to register as a sex offender he was convicted for any type of sex offence, i thought in his case that based on the age of consent law its illegal to have sex with anybody based on that age, but i did not know there was a 3 year age difference so he didnt get a felony charge. You should go do more research on sex offenders in prison. Sex offender is a sex offender no matter how you look at it, they are considered scum in prison.

    But with the way so many teacher and student relationships are comming out in the news, i would suprised that he would get hired as a teacher if they did a background check.

    You were 22 and knew she was 14? You should have gone to prison. That's disgusting. Yes you would have gotten your butt kicked had you gone to prison.

    Actually he said that he doesn't have to register as a sex offender. Maybe you should try reading the posts you reply to.

    My ex was in prison - no they aren't all looked the same. He said they would go after and torture the chimos. That was it. Oh look at the two "sources" you used. Ok. I didn't click on either of them either. I think I'll go with what someone who was actually in prison told me of their experience then what you found online.

    Why would a commit a sex offense? I'm not a pervert nor am I a sexual predator. I also am not attracted to prepubescent children or teenagers. So that comment makes absolutely no sense. You on the other hand are a pervert and may not legally be a sex offender but you are a sexual predator. It's too bad those charges were dropped - all teens should be warned about you.

    Did you miss the part where people said he would maybe not get hired if they did a background check? Seriously why are you here?

    blossom23 has an interesting and varied life. In this thread he is a sex offender, in another thread he's making a fake suicide pact with someone (apparently with the aim of the someone killing him/herself) and hoping he won't get charged with anything.

    If they know about the conviction, they probably would not hire them. The problem is in the knowing.

    I missed he was the one who posted the suicide pact. But he said his charges were dropped on the 14 year old so legally he's not a sex offender. Morally he's a disgusting person if he did in fact have sex with a 14 year old when he was 22.
