(ForEveryMom) California lawmakers are navigating a controversial bill this week, which would lower the penalty for adults who have consensual sex with a minor as long as the offender is within 10 years of age of the victim.
The bill, SB 145, passed in both houses of the State Legislature late Monday evening and is now awaiting a decision by California Governor, Gavin Newsom,
Current California law treats cases of statutory rape differently depending on what kind of sex is had.
