Fact check: California law does not decriminalize sex with minors
SB-145 changes the law to allow judges the same level of discretion over whether certain people must register as sex offenders for consensual anal and oral sex as they already have for consensual penile-vaginal sex.
According to its Senate Floor Analysis, the legislation "exempts a person convicted of nonforcible sodomy with a minor, oral copulation with a minor, or sexual penetration with a minor, as specified, from having to automatically register as a sex offender."
Though it removes the "automatic" requirement, "a person convicted of one of those specified offenses may still be ordered to register in the discretion of the court."
It's also applicable only if the adult was within 10 years of age of the minor at the time the offense, and the minor was at least 14 years old – provisions known in some states as Romeo and Juliet laws.
CA Legislature Passes Bill Easing Punishment for Pedophiles Because of 'LGBTQ Equality' or Something
Even some democrats hate this.
Proponents of this insane bill claim it will end “discrimination against LGBTQ young people on the sex offender registry.”
The bill, SB145, was first introduced in January 2019 by California state Senator Scott Weiner, a gay Democrat representing San Francisco. The bill would “exempt from mandatory registration under the act a person convicted of certain offenses involving minors if the person is not more than 10 years older than the minor and if that offense is the only one requiring the person to register,” leaving the decision to the presiding judge.
State Senator Weiner says the bill “eliminates discrimination against LGBTQ youth in our criminal justice system.”
Despite the bill passing, some of Wiener’s fellow Democrats are not buying his argument.
“I cannot in my mind as a mother understand how sex between a 24-year-old and a 14-year-old could ever be consensual, how it could ever not be a registrable offense,” said Democratic Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez. “We should never give up on this idea that children should be in no way subject to a predator.”
Unfortunately, not enough of her fellow Democrats agreed, and the bill just barely passed through both Houses of the California legislature.
Scott Wiener is a longtime radical LGBTQ activist who recently received the endorsement of Joe Biden’s running mate, Kamala Harris.
“Kamala Harris also knows me & my work,” Wiener announced on Twitter two days after her selection as Biden’s running mate. “I’m honored to have Kamala’s endorsement of my reelection to the Senate.”
