A doctor uses an ophthalmoscope (a light with magnifying lenses that is used to look into the back of the eye) to diagnose papilledema. Often an ophthalmologist (a medical doctor who specializes in the evaluation and treatment of eye disorders) needs to confirm the diagnosis and help determine the cause.
Florida Statutory Rape Laws. Statutes governing Florida's age of consent, associated criminal charges, available defenses, and penalties for conviction. In Florida, it is illegal for an adult (someone 18 or older) to have sex with a minor (someone younger than 18), even if the sex is consensual. Those who break the law have committed statutory rape.
The age of consent -- the age at which a person can legally give consent to a sexual partner -- varies from 14 to 18. All states which place the age of consent younger than 16 years of age have provisions that differentiate between an adult sexual partner and a minor sexual partner. It is not legal anywhere in the U.S. for an adult -- 18 or older -- to have sexual contact with someone younger than 16. Some states consider the age difference between a teen and her sexual partner, both in determining whether a law has been broken and in determining how severe the charges should be.
