    The age of consent in florida is 16.



    800.04 Lewd, lascivious, or indecent assault or act upon or in presence
    of child. ---
    A person who:
    (1) Handles, fondles, or assaults any child under the age of 16 years
    in a lewd, lascivious, or indecent manner;
    (2) Commits actual or simulated sexual intercourse, deviate sexual
    intercourse, sexual bestiality, masturbation, sadomasochistic abuse,
    actual lewd exhibition of the genitals, or any act or conduct which
    simulates that sexual battery is being or will be committed upon any
    child under the age of 16 years or forces or entices the child to commit
    any such act;
    (3) Commits an act defined as sexual battery under s. 794.011(1)(h)
    upon any child under the age of 16 years; or
    (4) Knowingly commits any lewd or lascivious act in the presence of
    any child under the age of 16 years, without committing the crime of
    sexual battery, commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as
    provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. Neither the victim's
    lack of chastity nor the victim's consent is a defense to the crime
    proscribed by this section. A mother's breast feeding of her baby does
    not under any circumstance violate this section.

    It is my understanding that the age of consent in Florida is 16 for boys, and 18 for girls.

    I have not found a mention of what sex the person is. Maybe Aaron or one of the others can clarify.

    There seem to be some websites which allege that, without any reference to statute.
