Orange County Rape is a forced sexual intercourse through physical and/or psychological intimidation. There are different types of rape such as date rape, statutory rape, and spousal rape. Orange County California Date rape is a forced sex act between two people whom know one another during a social engagement such as a date or going to dinner. Even though the two people know one another, if a sex act was coerced, it is considered rape. Statutory rape is a sex act between an adult and a minor under the legal age of 18. Even if the minor consents to the sex act, it is still considered statutory rape, because of the age limit. Orange County Spousal rape is a forced sex act between a husband and wife. If a husband or wife does not consent to a sex act, and the sex act is forced, it is considered rape.

People who are convicted of rape must list their name on the Sex Offender Registry. According to Sex Offender Registration Act, sex offenders are categorized by risk of re-offense. The court decides if the convicted offender is (low risk), (moderate risk), or (high risk). The court also categorizes each convicted sex offender as a sexual predator, sexually violent offender, or predicate sex offender. If a person’s name is on the Sex Offender Registry, they may have limited employment and housing options, as future landlords and employers look negatively upon sex crime convictions.
