My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
My boyfriend and I have been dating for 2 years. He is quite a bit older than I am (he is 45, I am 20). Though we started our relationship after I was 18, we did text back and forth prior to my 18th birthday. My mom took my phone and read my texts but never moved forward with prosecuting him. Now that I've revealed to my parents that we are ready to move in together, they are threatening to take my boyfriend to court (my mom says that she's saved the texts on documents).
Is this something that I need to be concerned about? How do I prove that this is not a case of statutory rape? How do I protect my boyfriend from something that is being acted on out of spite and anger?
