Legal Question in Discrimination Law in Florida

From a strictly legal standpoint, kissing appears OK. Sexual activity is NOT. Under Florida Statute titled "794.05 Unlawful sexual activity with certain minors:"

(1) A person 24 years of age or older who engages in sexual activity with a person 16 or 17 years of age commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. As used in this section, "sexual activity" means oral, anal, or vaginal penetration by, or union with, the sexual organ of another; however, sexual activity does not include an act done for a bona fide medical purpose."

Most people would condemn the morality of a 20 year old kissing a 15 year old. Moreover, biology and experience shows that kissing leads to other activities that clearly are illegal.

A kiss is just a kiss, but more than a kiss can lead to a lengthy jail term.
