My question involves criminal law for the state of: Florida

My daughter was seen hugging and kissing a 15 year old boy. They met in bible study at school when he was 15 and she was 16. They are only 17 months apart in age. She just turned 17 and he is still 15.

The witnesses agree there were no sexual acts committed, just hugging and kissing and holding hands. My daughter says they didn't even "use tongue", her words.

Her school counselor scared the hell out of her and told her she could be charged with a felony and taken to jail for what they did. She then reiterated that information to me.

I did some digging, and found that under FL Chapter 800, it does not appear that she committed any criminal offenses. The definition for Lewd and Lascivious Sexual Activity involves vaginal or anal penetration and Lewd and Lascivious Molestation requires genital, genital area, breast or buttock contact even over clothes, and neither of these activities occurred. Unless you count a hug as breast to chest contact.

As I am not an expert on this, I don't know if any other information is out there that could corroborate her claim.

If you have a few minutes,
I'd appreciate your reply. Thank you.
