From the article I posted the law at the time was…
“Carnal intercourse with unmarried person under 18 years,” established in 1983’s section 794.05, made it a second-degree felony to have sex “with any unmarried person, of previous chaste character, who at the time of such intercourse is under the age of 18 years.”
Absent his denial of the sex I wonder why the court didn’t pursue this.
Since then the law has been changed so it would have been statutory rape.
