Statutory Rape is sexual intercourse with a female under the legal age of 18 but above the age of 14. Statutory rape charges are customarily brought by the parents of the victim, but in California they can be raised by the state. Charges can be brought against you if you impregnate a girl under the age of 18 even if the girl consents to the sexual act.
Date Rape is forcible sexual intercourse between people that know each other during a social engagement. The fact that the engagement is voluntary and that the parties knew each other is not a defense to a California date rape charge.
Spousal Rape occurs when one spouse forces the other spouse to have sex without their consent.
