Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

I was charged with deliquency to a minor, was charged giving him beer and cigs, he was 17 at the time, he is now 19 and Im being offered pretrial diversion program but part of agreement is no contact with him, he is currently in jail and was living with me, can they require me not to accept collect calls or letters from him, since he is 19 and his last place of residency for last 6 months was with me, his family thinks alot of me and prefers me to have contact with him ? any advice ?

Sadly, the State can ask you to have no contact as a condition of diversion. His family can contact the State and ask that it nit be a condition, but the State does not have to listen. Alternatively, you can fight the case at trial or attempt to resolve the with only a fine and no further conditions.

Best of luck,
