Sex Offender laws

Introduction

The state of California has the most stringent laws regarding sex offender registry in the United States. Sex offenders who are released from prison must register with local authorities within three days after they move to another location within the county or city where they live. As of January 1, 2017, all individuals convicted of assault with intent to commit rape (Penal Code 220 PC) and sexual penetration with foreign object (Penal Code 289.3(a)) are required to register as sex offenders regardless of whether they were sentenced to prison or probation.

Sex Offender registration is a state-level requirement.

Sex offender registration is a state-level requirement. This means that each time you move, you have to update your address with the local police department (or whatever agency is responsible for maintaining sex offender registry information). If you don’t register with your new jurisdiction, they may not know who you are and will arrest or prosecute you as an unregistered sex offender.

The federal government regulates sex offenders based on the Adam Walsh Act passed in 2006 and was amended by Congress in 2008; however, there’s no single federal law governing sex offender registration requirements across all 50 states. Instead there are different laws at each level of government: county; city; tribal; etc..

Convicted felons are required to register as sex offenders.
The legal age of consent in California is 18 years old, but it can be reduced if you are under 16 years old and your relationship with your partner is not consensual. If both partners are under 18 years old, then the younger party may not be prosecuted for statutory rape or sexual assault charges as long as there was no force used.
It is also illegal for a person who has been convicted of any felony offense related to child pornography possession or distribution or any other felony crime against children (such as molesting or enticing a minor) within five years after release from prison or jail unless they have been arrested for another criminal offense involving sex crimes within that time period
