No, not if the judge decides to rule it "consensual" now.

No, the legislation is ONLY about the sex offender registry. See California bill eliminating sex offender list inequity toward LGBTQ people passes.
SB145 by state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, would remove automatic sex-offender registration for young adults who are convicted of having anal or oral sex with a minor, leaving the decision up to a judge.
You can also read the actual text of SB-145 Sex offenders: registration.
Like I said I'm not happy with the law, but it is only about the sex offender registry. It does not remove criminal punishment for statutory rapists.

But a 14 year old with a 24 year old is out of bounds.


I consider that an edge case, and I'd expect it to get exponentially harder to meet the criteria for every year of age gap over about 5 in a well functioning system.

I don't see this as a gold rush to pedophilia, but discretion to avoid punishments that don't fit the crime.
