My question involves criminal law for the state of: California
I am somewhat familiar with Penal Code 261.5 and I believe my case in particular is 261.5(c)
I was 16 and he was 22 (more than three years apart) at the time we had intercourse. I am now 18 (he is 23 going on 24 in the spring), we are still together, and my parent is blackmailing my boyfriend. If I defy my parent (i.e want to sleep over at my boyfriends house but my parent does not allow it, want to go on vacation with my boyfriend and my parent doesn't allow it but i do it anyways, etc.), my parent will take matters into their own hands and try to go about bringing up legal matters regarding statutory rape and jeopardizing his life. It scares me because even, for example, in 4 years (me 22, him 26) when I am gradated from college, say I want to move in with my boyfriend/buy a house with him. If my parent does not see fit, my parent with threaten to take things into their own hands and do anything from preventing me from doing what it is they don't want me to do (a.k.a using statutory rape against him as blackmail for me not to do it)
My questions are:
1.) What is the stature of limitation for my situation? I believe once I turn 19, my boyfriend will be in the clear from prosecution, but I am not 100% about that
2.) If not 19, at what age will I be freed of this blackmailing situation?
Keep in mind that I DO NOT AGREE WITH MY PARENT AT ALL.
