Ett ofredande i Florida mot en person under 12 år räknas som en andra gradens förseelse och kan ge upp till 15 års fängelse. Att mannen fick 28 månader längre straff än kvinnan, beror på att han hade skyddstillsyn från ett drogrelaterat brott som gav 8 års fängelse.

Citat:
A sentencing date was not announced, but Assistant State Attorney Anthony Dafonseca said they will pursue a harsher sentence for Caballero than Alvarez, since Alvarez has no prior record and Caballero has been to prison for almost eight years for a cocaine trafficking conviction.
The state will ask for jail time for Alvarez and prison time for Caballero. Dafonseca said due to Caballero being out of prison less than three years before committing another felony, he's looking at serving the maximum time of 15 years.
