I have recently had sex with a 14 year old me being 17 there is a little more then 3 years age difference between us. My mother has been yelling at me how I will have to register as a pedophile since I'm turning 18 in a month. My first question is how would a case be handled between two people who were minors at the time of intercourse, and my second question would be is my mother correct in that I will have to register as a sex offender? Another thing that worries me is he is also claiming that the event was not consensual and that I raped him. How would I prove that I did not rape him and that I had asked before hand? Many thanks for your help.

How this is handled would be at the discretion of a juvenile court judge and the DA's office. Juvenile cases are closed from public view. There is really no way to speculate on what "might" happen with any accuracy. This could be handled within the juvenile court system or, it's possible the judge may recommend the case be heard in adult court.

As far as proving whether consent was given, this may come down to being "your word against his", unless someone else was witness to the events.

Registration as a sex offender is determined based on what you are finally convicted of. If you are convicted under section 261.5 "Unlawful Sexual Intercourse" you would NOT be required to register as a sex offender in the State of Californa. If it is determined to be a forceable or violent sexual act and you were convicted under a different sexual offense statute, it is highly likely that you would be required to register as a sex offender for a specified period of time.

If charges have been filed against you, it is in your best interest to seek advice from a criminal defense attorney in California who specializes in sex offense cases.
