School staff barred from sex with students

Beginning November 1, 2025, sex between a student age 16 to 19 and a school employee, contractor, or subcontractor age 18 or older is rape. The rule applies when the student is enrolled in, or under the custody or supervision of, any public or private elementary or secondary school (including junior high or high school) or a public vocational school. This expands criminal protection for older teens and young adults in school settings.

Stronger rape rules in government custody

Beginning November 1, 2025, sex with a person under the legal custody or supervision of a state, federal, county, city, or other local agency is rape when the other person is a staff member or contractor with authority over them. This includes employees of the agency, or employees of its contractors or subcontractors. The law expands criminal protection for people held or supervised by government.

Who counts as a college employee

Beginning November 1, 2025, the law defines who counts as an employee of a college or university for this crime. It includes faculty, adjuncts, instructors, volunteers, and workers for a contracting business who can exercise school authority over the victim. It does not include an enrolled student who works or volunteers and is no more than three years older than the concurrently enrolled student.
