Is a non-sexual online romantic relationship between two teenage girls, a year and a half apart in age, therefore one turning into a legal adult before the other, illegal or crossing lines in any way? there is just talk about cuddling, kissing, non-sexual date ideas etc, as well as video and voice chat but never sexually. one lives in california and the other in new zealand. the relationship is very mutual, and there is open communication and love between the two, and no use of 'lewd conduct.' parents are homophobic\transphobic therefore we aren't quite ready to tell our parents until we are both in university, but the younger one doubts very much their mother would press charges or get the law involved- but if somehow the law did get involved, how likely would it be that the case would be brought into court?

You do NOT know whom you are chatting with online, unless you have met in person and reviewed government issued ID, conducted a background check, and even then without fingerprint or DNA analysis, you still can not be sure.

You might BOTH be in CA and the other person might be a cop or federal agent.

It is not wise to discuss anything with any online stranger except the weather, pretty birds, furry kittens, the theory of relativity, or what store has the best prices for shampoo.

Sexual discussions with strangers can prove to be deadly or financially devestating.

Of course, you will ignore this because you are madly in love with a girl who just might be a 65 year old male pervert massaging himself in naughty places as he communicates with you about naughty girly on girly sexy stuff.

You need not explain anything to me.

You are free to believe ANYTHING you convince yourself of believing.

I am just one of the billions of bots, internet trolls, scammers, perverts, murderers, rapists, and slicksters that slither acoss the world wide webs of deceit, lies, debauchery, porn, more lies, and flim flams.

Even though not sexual (in your opinion) there are laws in California that could make this a criminal offense because of the minor.
California laws would not apply to you in New Zealand, but others might.
It is always beast to not become involved with minors. It only leads to trouble for the adult.

Illegal? No (at least not without knowing specifics of what's been said and done). "Crossing lines"? I don't really know what that means.

How old is the younger girl?

You didn't answer the question asked. You already had told us that the two persons involved are a year and a half apart in age. The question asked was, "How old is the younger girl?"

the younger one doubts very much their mother would press charges or get the law involved- but if somehow the law did get involved, how likely would it be that the case would be brought into court?

i live in new zealand. they live in cali.

I'm not sure who "they" are (typically, the pronoun "she" is used to refer to a girl), but no law enforcement personnel in California has any jurisdiction over a person outside the U.S. If this girl's parents find out what's happening and don't approve, the most that will happen is that they'll cut off their daughter's internet access.

These relationships fairly go well even if both are who they say they are. If you two have a "romantic" relationship sooner or later one of you will try to take it to next level (if you have not already) when that happens you will surely "cross the line". Without having seen the various text, emails and video chats no one here can say if it legal or not and not knowing the laws of other country does not help as well.

Have you met in person at all? Or is this entirely an online relationship, including meeting online?

2. i live in new zealand. they live in cali.

We only deal with US law. Cali is the capital city of Colombia.

Unless you met this person then you don't know who they are.

Even then it's iffy.

How do you know who you are talking to? Could be a middle aged man for all you know or a 10 year old.

I'd cut this "relationship" off if I was you. Go out and meet someone in your own country.

I hope you're being facetious (also, Cali is not the capital of Columbia; Bogota is the capital).

 

[army judge]

Bogotá officially Bogotá, Distrito Capital, abbreviated Bogotá, D.C., and formerly known as Santafé de Bogotá between 1991 and 2000, is the capital and largest city of Colombia, administered as the Capital District.

Columbia Gem of the Ocean is in the title of the song

Of course, and yes, I meant to say it's a city in Colombia!
