In Florida can a 17 year old girl date a 20 year guy?

Answer 1

The age of consent in Florida is 18, but close in age exemptions exist. By law, the exception permits a person 23 years of age or younger to engage in legal sexual activity with a minor aged 16 or 17.

Answer 2

No. It is illegal. This is a constant question. A seventeen year old and thirty year old may date in any state of the US, but if the engage in sexual contact, the thirty year old man is likely to go to prison. Here's the thing. While most states of the US have llaws that establish the Aged of Consent at sixteen, some as low as fourteen in some situations, no one under the age of eighteen may legally enter into any type of situation requiring adult consent. It's a gray area. A sixteen year old may give consent legally to have sexual contact with a twenty year old, however if the prosecutor chooses to file charges of Sex with a Minor against the twenty year old, he is going to prison. So, is it legal, yes and it is also prosecutable. A contradiction, but that's American justice.

Answer 3

no. that is called jailbate.

^ actually the CORRECT answer is YES,if he/she has been 17 for about 6-7 months it is legal to date an adult,BUT it is NOT legal to have sex,IF caught he could and probably would go to jail.

Answer 4

There really isn't a problem with it. There are no laws about dating ages, so it is legal to date. There are laws about sexual activity and depending on the state, this is probably not an issue either. In most places you have to be at least 16 to consent, if not 17 or 18.

Answer 5

Yes, there are no laws about dating. There are laws about sexual activity. The age of consent in Florida is 17, so be careful!

Answer 6

i don't think that is appropriate for a 17 year old to date a guy that much older than him/her. I am pretty sure it is not legal either.

Answer 7

There are no laws about dating. Sexual contact may be a problem in some specific instances.

Answer 8

Sure. you just cannot have sex.
