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
