Is it legal for two minors to have sexual intercourse? (PC 261.5)

Is it legal for two minors to have sexual intercourse? (PC 261.5)

Sexual contact while under the age of 18 is not legal.

No. The real question is will a 17 year old actually be prosecuted for having sex with a 16 year old? That depends on numerous potential variables, including consent and the relationship between the minors involved. If you have a child facing charges of unlawful sex with a minor, call the experienced lawyers at Wallin & Klarich for assistance.
