If he is 23 or younger it is legal with a minor age 16-17yo. Not if he is 24 and you are 16.

The age of consent in Florida is 18 with a close in age exemption that says a person 23 years of age or younger can legally have sex with a minor aged 16-17.

According to the wording of the Statute, if you are 16-yrs-old, a sexual relationship with someone 24 or older is not legal in the state of Florida.

Florida Statute 794.05

(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.

The key in the above Statute is that it says "24 years of age or older." The wording of the Statute includes the age of 24 in those who commit a felony if they engage in sex with a 16 or 17-year-old. It is then punishable with up to 15 years in prison.

What if you are seventeen and you are seeing someone who is 27 in the state of Florida what can your parents really do about it?

Under Florida law, the legal age of consent is 18. If you are 16 or 17, you can consent with a person 23 or under. So if you are 17, and the other person is 27, and hypothetically, your parents find out that the two of you have engaged in sexual activity, they could take your partner to court, and that person could be charged with a second degree felony. Other than that, because you are still a minor (not yet 18) your parents are probably still your legal guardians, and can use their own means to keep you from seeing this person.

Depending on the legal age of consent in the state in which you live, it is somewhat possible that there could be legal repercussions. However, if one partner is over the age of consent but under 18, there are generally only repercussions if the other partner is over 18 and there is more than a 3 or 4 year difference. Look at your state laws, and discuss the matter with your respective families/guardians.
