Re: sex crimes
Chances are he will be prosecuted. A 15 year old cannot consent.
Re: sex crimes
In Pinellas County, they will almost certainly file a criminal charge. As stated before, a 15 cannot legally consent to a sexual relationship with a 22 year old.
However, if the sexual encounter was in fact consensual, the State Attorney's Office may look at that as "mitigation." There are a lot of other factors that an experienced criminal attorney (who handles sex crime cases) will want to review.
If you are in Pinellas County, please feel free to give me a call to discuss this matter further.
Good luck.
