Cal. Penal Code § 266c — Rape, Abduction, Carnal Abuse of Children, and Seduction is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
Every person who induces any other person to engage in sexual intercourse, sexual penetration, oral copulation, or sodomy when his or her consent is procured by false or fraudulent representation or pretense that is made with the intent to create fear, and which does induce fear, and that would cause a reasonable person in like circumstances to act contrary to the person’s free will, and does cause the victim to so act, is punishable by imprisonment in a county jail for not more than one year or in the state prison for two, three, or four years.
As used in this section, “fear” means the fear of physical injury or death to the person or to any relative of the person or member of the person’s family.
