It would appear the SOL has expired.

Just for the record, you did not have consensual sex.
Statutory rape means that the minor is not of an age yet to give consent. She could have torn her clothes off, begged you for sex and she STILL couldn't give consent. -
05-23-2010, 12:10 PMscreaminjessieRe: What Are the Statute of Limitations on Rape in FloridaOnce the SOL has expired, if I take her to court for custody and child support of my children, she can't charge me with rape? Are you sure about this?Quote:

What makes you think you will get custody and child support? -

Hmmm, have you been paying support for the last 9 years on the children that you claim? Do her parents know who you are? Have you exercised your OBLIGATION to know your children (more than one? really?) through regular visitation and contact?
As a parent, if I were you, SOL or not, I'd still be hiding in the hills and NOT rock the boat. You're my age, and I can GUARANTEE you that finding out who you are wouldn't be a good thing for you as the girls parent. Slither back into your hole. -

Go read the statutes. It doesn't get any more sure than that.
You'd do well to not so much as BREATHE in her general direction without consulting competent counsel first. -

Only an attorney will be able to tell you if you are in the clear. I would tend to agree that your chance of gaining custody of this child is slim, but not unheard of. If the mother is incompetent as a mother and the courts decide that you would be the better parent in spite of your admitted offense, then I have seen stranger things done. Your first stop should be to an attorney who does both Civil and Criminal defense. Then build your case for custody from there.
