But there are also a variety of rape-related crimes that fall under the umbrella of California rape law. These include:

Penal Code 262 PC "Spousal Rape",
Date Rape,
Penal Code 261.5 PC "Statutory Rape",
Penal Code 266c PC "Oral Copulation by Force", and
Penal Code 289 PC "Forcible Penetration with a Foreign Object."
The punishment, penalties, and stigma that flow from a California rape conviction can be severe. The punishment for rape in California includes three (3), six (6) or eight (8) years in California state prison.2 And if the alleged victim was a minor, the minimum sentence is seven (7) years...and the maximum is thirteen (13) years.3
