Parks & Braxton, PA: Miami DUI Lawyer | Criminal Defense
The state of Florida has ruled that it is illegal to have any type of sexual activity with an individual under the age of 16. The state considers persons who are under 16 of age to be legally incapable of consenting to sexual activity of any kind, even if both parties consent to the sexual conduct. If you have been accused of having sex with a minor, you will face statutory rape charges and tough penalties under the law.
If you or a loved one has been charged with sex with a minor, call a Fort Lauderdale criminal defense attorney at once. If you are convicted of statutory rape, you will face a prison sentence ranging between seven and fifteen years in addition to a forced sex offender registration.
