There are cases where an 18 year old was forced to register as a sex offender because the other was 17. I think a 5 year gap is reasonable, as long as a lower limit is set... But, I think 14 might be a bit low. It should be 16.
Spez: The bill is not yet passed out of the Assembly.
Per the bill history, it passed out of the Assembly committee on 8/20. On 8/24, the bill was read on the Assembly floor the second time, and ordered to the final(?) third reading. If I understand the history correctly, it passed the Senate back on 05/28/19.
I know someone in this situation. Dated same girl in HS, he was sophomore, she was freshman. He graduated his still dating same girl, parents called police for statutory rape. He was 18, she was 17. Now he's 22 and has a conviction.
That's horrible. Met my high school boyfriend when he was a senior and I was a sophomore. Stayed together through my first year at college but finally broke up because I went away for school and the long distance thing wasn't maintainable long term. I'm glad my parents liked him and approved of the relationship. I can't imagine if they had gotten him charged with a crime. We're still friends and have been through a lot together as friends. He turned 60 last year.
This bill does not do that. Romeo and Juliet laws already exist in California. I repeat this bill does not cover that, it allows sexual abusers to rape minors.
I'd say 16 with a 3 year gap. 21 year old with a 16 year old is still off. I know 5 years isn't all that much once everyone's 20+, but at that age it's gross. The only thing that this type of stuff would help is a guy who assumes a girl is overage and instead they aren't. However, let's be honest, that's not the intent here.
Rule of seven is shit, because it's also used for higher ages.
The rule is heavily used by leftist feminazis to shame men who have a younger partner.
You're 27 - no partner of 20. You're 30 - no partner of 22. You're 36? Not under 25. The idea behind that is that as a 36yo who has now an established career you should not find a beautiful, young woman to have a family with. You are supposed to get married to a single mum in your age group and take care of their offspring.
As an example the GEOTUS was 59 when he married Melania (who was 35). 59/2+7 = 36.5 How dare he!
I’m childfree and my autism doctors project that I may not be able to date until my late 20’s or early 30’s. That half your age + 7 rule would destroy me.

But, I think most may be missing the intent of the bill. You have to read the Bill Analysis, which I quoted here:

California is one of 6 remaining states where those laws don't exist.
They dated for that long and the parents called the police when he turned eighteen?

Somebody once said “rule of 7” which goes something like this
(Older person’s age)/2 + 7 = cutoff age
So for example 20 year old -> 20/2 + 7 = 17 years old.
Then round up for fractions of course. Seems to kind of fit. I dunno. Just thought it was interesting.
Seems pretty logical.
This seems to be a pretty good rule.

For older ages I thought it became rule of 5. So 60/2+5=35.

Meh, or you could marry when you’re both relatively young?
Some states have Romeo and Juliet laws for this.
It's legal as long as the young lovers kill themselves?
Yes but only with hemlock
I guess it depends on your school district.
In mine, high schools are split into 9th-10th grade and 11th-12th grade.
I agree with your analysis and summary good sir (or madam).
