I have read the law on this website stating that a person under 24 can engage in sexual activity with someone 16 and above. When I was 23, I started having a consensual sexual relationship with my 17 year old girlfriend. We are still together and I have turned 24. Is sexual actvity still illegal? Please help!

In Florida, a person 24 years old or older having sexual activity (oral, anal, or vaginal penetration with a sexual organ) with a minor who is 16 or 17, is considered unlawful sexual activity.

There are no provisions to change this if the age differences were such that they could have legally had a prior sexual relationship. This is considered a second degree felony, and a conviction could mean prison sentence of 4-15 years.
