Romeo And Juliet Laws

Summary

Romeo and Juliet laws are designed to prevent prosecution of minors close in age engaging in consensual sex. In Florida, the age of consent is 18, but the law allows a close-in-age exemption for those within a 4-year age difference, provided both are at least 16. An 18-year-old with a 14-year-old does not qualify, nor does a 17-year-old with a 13-year-old. A 16-year-old with a 19-year-old may be permissible under this exemption. Always check specific state laws for details.

What happens if its * minors together
Case Rating: *
When two minors engage in consensual sexual activity, both parties could technically be considered victims under the law, as it does not differentiate between participants. In many cases, authorities focus on protecting the minors rather than prosecuting them, but this can vary based on jurisdiction and specific circumstances.
But in the u.s. or places with romeo and juliet laws if * minors say * "do the deed" it won't be anything am i correct?
Case Rating: *
In the U.S., "Romeo and Juliet" laws are meant to prevent severe penalties when both parties are close in age and below the age of consent, often with a small age difference like *-4 years. However, these laws vary by state, and it's essential to check specific state laws for details. In many states, if both participants are minors with a close age difference, the focus is more on protection rather than prosecution.
