I would like to propose a change in the Legilative law, fl statue 800.04 and 794.021.That the age of consent be changed to 18, That a 16 yr old have the same effects that a 15 yr old and under. I believe that both parties should be liable for conviction, or less parents both agree on waivers. If not then both be prosecuted under the state of florid laws. I would also like to propose that the Fl statue 794.021, Ignorance or belief of victims age be taken away. When there is proof that the alleged victim has lied about there age, Example: If he or she states they are at the consential age and they are not, but the other party has proof of betrayle,that the conviction be dropped on the others behalf. Both need to be held accountable for actions whether the age of the victim is lower then the age of the defendent. It should not be right that the one that lies,be able to walk freely with no accountability and the one that was lied to has to deal with all the reprecaussions.Please sign this petition this could happen to your son or daughter one day, and I will be the first to tell you, It is a very hard thing to go through.Please dont sign anonymous I need real signatures to take to our Senator Thank you Wendy Pegg.

Finally someone said it. My nephew went thru this and it ruined his future even though she lied about her age the whole time. The laws are completely one sided.

This needs to change. Kids lie all the time and expecting a teenager to know better when they are being decieved is crazy. Both should take responsibility.
