Again, there are other statutes that make life in prison the maximum penalty for child sexual assault in California. The rape statute you quote expressly says that the 9-13 years you quote is stacked on top of the general crime of sexual assault of a minor: >> This subdivision does not preclude prosecution under Section 269, Section 288.7, or any other provision of law. >> 269: Any person who commits any of the following acts upon a child who is under 14 years of age and seven or more years younger than the person is guilty of aggravated sexual assault of a child [statute lists all conceivable forms of sexual gratification] ... Any person who violates this section is guilty of a felony and shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for 15 years to life. Section 288 adds yet more penalties for using force, being in a position of trust, etc. You keep using examples of "hackers get stronger penalties than these other crimes" (bank robbery, child rape), but the other crimes consistently have life in prison as a maximum sentence if you stop to read the full context of the law.
