Florida statue 794.05 states the following "Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors.-- (1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, "sexual activity" means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose. (2) The provisions of this section do not apply to a person 16 or 17 years of age who has had the disabilities of nonage removed under chapter 743. (3) The victim's prior sexual conduct is not a relevant issue in a prosecution under this section. (4) If an offense under this section directly results in the victim giving birth to a child, paternity of that child shall be established as described in chapter 742. If it is determined that the offender is the father of the child, the offender must pay child support pursuant to the child support guidelines described in chapter 61. History.--RS 2598; s. 1, ch. 4965, 1901; GS 3521; s. 1, ch. 6974, 1915; s. 1, ch. 7732, 1918; RGS 5409; s. 1, ch. 8596, 1921; CGL 7552; s. 1, ch. 61-109; s. 759, ch. 71-136; s. 1, ch. 96-409."

Answer 3

future inmate-lol in all seriousness if you have sex with a minor you can be prosecuted as a sex offender which is the worst thing to have hanging over you-it would keep you from living certain places,keep you from being around children period and would not look good on your job resume.You dont state your age or the minors but my advise is to not date a minor,dating a minor i dont think is a crime as long as there is NO physical contact but you would be playing with fire.If you like her/him look them up later when they are older,odds are you will find someone else and forget about them,if the person is seventeen the wait isn't gonna kill you if they are younger just move on

Added: If you are an adult, you might be looking for the word PEDOPHILE.
