IT ISNT ILLEGAL WHERE I LIVE
" In California, as in the rest of the United States, having an attraction to minors (pedophilia) is not a crime in and of itself. However, any action that involves exploiting or attempting to exploit minors, such as sexual abuse, grooming, possession of child pornography, or any other illegal sexual conduct, is strictly prohibited by law and carries severe criminal penalties.

Here are some key points specific to California:

Sexual Abuse of Minors: Any sexual activity with a person under the age of 18 is illegal in California. The legal age of consent is 18, and engaging in sexual acts with someone below that age is considered statutory rape or child sexual abuse, depending on the circumstances.
Child Pornography: Possessing, distributing, or creating child pornography is a serious crime in California. The state has stringent laws against any material that sexually exploits children.
Grooming and Solicitation: Any attempt to engage a minor in inappropriate conversations or behaviors (e.g., through online communication or otherwise) is illegal under California's laws against child exploitation and enticement. Attempting to groom or solicit minors for sexual purposes is a criminal act, regardless of whether an actual crime takes place.
Treatment and Support: While not illegal to have a pedophilic attraction (as long as there is no illegal action), California encourages individuals who struggle with these feelings to seek treatment. There are programs that aim to help people manage these feelings and avoid harming children. For individuals who fear they might act on these urges, mental health professionals can offer support and guidance."
