  • Don't break up with her. You actually haven't done anything illegal according to California law, anyway.

    This means that a defendant is not guilty under PC 288 if:

    The minor is 14 or 15 and less than ten years younger than the defendant, or
    The minor is older than 15.

    6. Is it legal for an adult to date a minor in California?

    While in general, it is legal for an adult to date a minor, it is typically unwise for this to happen.

    And, it is illegal for an adult to date a minor if the adult:

    has a criminal record,
    is a sex offender, or
    is a teacher or in a similar position of trust or authority.

    Please also note that, based on California law, it is illegal for an adult to do any of the following with a minor he is dating:

    have sex,
    purchase for or share alcohol or cigarettes,
    bring the minor to an R-rated movie, and
    show any pornography.
