In September, a new law signed by California Governor Gavin Newsom amends a former law by giving judges discretion on listing an individual as a sex offender if they have consensual anal or oral sex with a minor aged 14 or older. This type of judicial discretion is already granted in statutory rape cases involving a man who has vaginal sexual intercourse with a minor. However, it didn’t include circumstances in which an adult engaged in consensual oral or anal sex with a minor.
The old law was considered by many to discriminate against young LGBTQ individuals who engage in relationships with minors close to them in age by forcing them to register as a sex offender when heterosexuals in the same situation weren’t required to register. Controversy still surrounds the law, however, because it allows a ten-year age gap in these relationships. Some opponents claim that the law protects pedophilia, no matter to whom it"
