IF A 14YR OLD BOY AND A 14YR OLD GIRL HAVE SEX WHAT IS THE CRIME AND CONSEQUENCE FOR THEM?

In Miami Florida, a sex act between two minors would likely fall to the jurisdiction of the Miami Dade Juvenile Services Department (JSD) and there may be a full assessment of both minors to identify unique needs and issues of both youth. JSD is partnered with representatives from law enforcement, social services, education and mental health.

Criminal prosecution would not be likely for either juvenile unless there is a history of behavior traits that would establish cause for more serious action by the juvenile justice system.

As far as the crime and the consequence, the matter would have to be assessed on an individual basis with the minors and their parents or guardians. The consequences can depend on any number of factors.
