It is just how the law is written. It’s related to how the Cali law deals with statutory rape offenses. Under 288a charges depend on ages of victim and the defendant. The under 14 and at least 10 years younger charge eliminates any Romeo and Juliet (consensual) defense and is automatic federal time. Since a jury is less likely to convict someone facing a “one strike” charge, this is a back up. The max penalty for consensual oral sex with a minor (8 yrs) is actually greater then consensual sexual intercourse with a minor (4yrs). Really Cali? Really?
@Cliff Clavin If they don’t have prior convictions, then (at most) she will get time served plus probation. Those charges are there for leverage. If it was just the guns and jib they wouldn’t have spent a night in jail without prior history. First and even most second time offenders get probation for this if convicted.

She going to jail.

Child molesters usually have many multiple victims before they are caught. I hope if these people are actually guilty they get raped many multiple times a week for the rest of their lives in prison.

I think there is maybe another victim. Notice now there is a charge that relates to someone under 14. Before that wasn’t there. It was all about someone under 10. PC288A(C)(1) – ORAL COP:PERSON -14YR/ETC
