    The age of consent in florida is 16.

    (1) Handles, fondles, or assaults any child under the age of 16 years

    (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

    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.
