what is the penalty for being charged with statutory rape if the male is 10 yrs older than the female

The maximum penalties vary depending on the age of the victim and/or whether the person charged with the crime was in a position of influence or authority over the victim when the sexual act took place. Also, a judge has some latitude to set penalties "up to" the maximum allowed; so, the maximums are a guideline and not necessarily reflective of the actual penalties.

The penalties can range from "probation & fines, all the way up to 20 years in prison.
