What if a minor couple stays in a hotel and is investigated by the police?

Legal analysis: Generally speaking, 14 years old and above, both parties are voluntary and not illegal. If only one person's certificate is registered and caught by the police during the inspection, the first thing to do is to actively cooperate with the police, show their ID cards and explain the relationship. Generally, there will be no consequences, but the police will hold the hotel responsible and impose a corresponding fine on the hotel. However, it is illegal to have sex if the woman is under 14 years old. According to the law, having sex with a young girl who knows that she is under 14 years old, regardless of whether the young girl is willing or not, constitutes rape.

Legal basis: Article 236 of the Criminal Law of People's Republic of China (PRC), whoever rapes a woman by violence, coercion or other means shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than ten years. Whoever rapes a girl under the age of 14 shall be given a heavier punishment for rape.
