In Florida gender is irrelevant. What is relevant is age, and, depending upon the age, then consent.
A 16 or 17 y/o can, legally / lawfully, consent to sexual relations with someone who is 23 or younger.
If you are younger than 16 then your consent, no matter how heartfelt, is legally insufficient and will not be a factor in an ensuing criminal prosecution. Similarly, if you are able to consent (if you are 16 or 17) but you have sexual relations with someone who is 24 or older, then your consent is similarly legally insufficient and will not be a factor in an ensuing criminal prosecution.
That’s the law. Its black and white. No exceptions. No excuses. No wiggle room. If either the minor is under 16 or the adult is over 23 then its a 100% “NO”, and if both parties consent and fall within this age range then, for many reasons, it remains a delicate situation.
I hope that I have been helpful in answering your question.
