    Question Under age in Florida

    I have read many posts on this topic already and im still confused. I myself haven't or don't personally know anyone who has done this, but rumors in my town are guys of age 19, 20, 21 having sexual intercourse with girls only of age 14, 15, 16.

    1) According to what I have already read 18 is when females can legally have sex in Florida correct? But for males its 16?

    2) If names are mentioned in rumors can anyone report it, or does it have to be someone directly linked to it?

    3) What amount of time in jail and/or fines do these men have to pay?

    on another note, i currently have a friend (male 25 years old) who was lead to believe his female "friend" was 24, only to find out she had just turned 18. i understand there is no harm there, but what about 18 and 19 year old men tricked buy fake ID's like my friend, example if a 23 year old slept with what was thought to be a 18 year old and turns out she was only 16, could she file for sagatory rape? Would her use of fake ID help his case? I only ask cuz now days people male and female sometimes look a lot older then they are, and everyone knows a fake ID isn't hard to come by.

    sorry to make it so long
    i would appreciate any answers in lamens terms due to the fact i have trouble understanding some of the statutes
    thanks

    OK, the age of sexual consent in Florida is 16, if you are sleeping with someone 24 or younger. It goes to 18, if you are sleeping with someone over 24. If your friend had the fake ID, to show the DA, then he/she would probably go easier on him, these days, no one even asks for ID, they believe what they want to hear. As far as someone reporting the rumor, sure anyone can, it depends on what the rumor is, and how much personal information you have, if they will actually believe you. Can you be more specific on the rumor please?

    The amount of time and fines depend on what state, and which sexual law was broke. It is not a cut and dry answer. What state, what charge, how old was the victim?

    The state is florida, the ages very from 14-16 year old girls with 18-21 year old men.

    The rumors are simple "so and so slept with a girl that goes to the middle school"
    Sometimes a little more detailed then that. Sometimes extremly detailed.
    but still rumors, so with names and ages it can be reported correct? and how much time do these guys do? Do they even get jailed?
    thanks

    I am not reffering this attorney, his site just had more information on sex charges, and ages, and penalties.

    statutory rape. doesn't matter who's older. in FL the age of consent is 16. it is legal for a 16 or 17 y/o to have intercourse with another individual aged 16-24. anyone 15 or younger is illegal. and a 16 or 17y/o with anyone older than 25 is illegal.

    Thanks for clarifying it all at once lol. I wish the laws were just cut and dry, and not have to be if they are older than 25 or 16-24, etc.
