Legal Question
What is the age that allows you to have a relationship with somebody older than 18, if you are 17? Can it be sexual harassment? Thank you.

Legal Answer
See FL Statutes 794.05 (sexual activity with minors) and 800.04 (lewd and lascivious conduct with minors).
In FL, a 16 or 17 year old may consent to sexual interaction with a person under the age of 24 without legal repercussions. A relationship between two teenagers over the age of 16 is completely legal in Florida.
