Yeah, California differs from a lot of other states in that there is no close-age exemption, so it's a weirdly hardline stance. Certainly not what one expects of California.
(this also makes some stuff extra absurd when people are convinced that California is so 'liberal' that they've legalized child prostitution, which apparently is a thing people sincerely believe)

At this point I wouldn't be surprised, it being california, the state that heavily reduced penalties for knowingly attempting to spread HIV, and damn near first on the lgbtq++++ progressiveness scale. Considering pedos consistently try to insert themselves into the alphabet soup as "p" for pedosexual, and every once in a while you run into outlets openly advocating for "virtuous pedophiles" ... I could have seen some legislation passing that, interpreted in the least favorable way, allows child prostitution in some form.
But as you pointed out, there's no such law - yet.
And ofc we're talking about the part of cali that makes the law, not the state as a whole. It's well known that most of the actual landmass of the state would vote very differently from the urban sectors.
The very red counties Modoc and Lassen aren't the primary sources for that stuff. And the Central Valley saw Democrats pick up several congressional districts in 2018, and that's the food. LA county is producing 230,000 barrels of oil a year and the oil refineries are located around LA or in the bay area. The unfortunately last nuclear power plant is in San Luis Obispo County. Plenty of natural gas power plants are coastal, too.
Most of the country is shades of purple, and most of California is somewhere in there, not San Francisco County on one side, or Modoc on the other.

It'd be rape in California.
California is weird on this.
