Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Florida

Adult and Minor Dating

Ok I have a bit of a complicated situation. I have been dating a 16 year old girl for 1 year mostly long distance, I am 21. We have not had any sexual contact of any kind. But once her parents found out they freaked out and have informed the police. I am just confused as to exactly what will happen if I continue to contact my girlfreind and/or continue to date her. I beleive that they have taken out a complaint against me for harassment.

Am I allowed to legally contact my girlfreind in new york while I'm in florida?

At this point I simply want to break up with her but I am confused as to whether or not it is legal for me to even contact her if i did would that constitute intent for sexual interaction?

Any help you could give me would be greatly apriciated.

Thanks

You are 21. She is a child. No wonder her parents freaked out. You don't need to contact her to break up. Her parents did that for you. Stay away. Try someone near your age and wait a few years to contact her, if ever.
