Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida
I am 18 and my boyfriend is 26. He lives in Kansas and I live in Florida. We met online. When I was 15/16, we sexted. My parents found out, took control of the email account I had used to sext my boyfriend, and threatened to turn him in if we ever talked again. It has almost been three years since it happened. How does the statute of limitations for this work? Does the statute of limitations apply acros state lines? Will my parents still be able to turn in the evidence in a few years and have him arrested?
1 Answer from Attorneys
The statute of limitations for transmission of material harmful to minors (which is the Florida law) is 3 years. An attorney from Kansas may be able to answer as to Kansas law, but I am not there may be different laws and statutes of limitations there. State lines do not impact the statute of limitations.
