Farrington v. State
626 So. 2d 1123; 1993 Fla. App. LEXIS 12004; 1993 WL 495981
(Southern Reporter, Second Series)
Farrington v. State
Opinion of the Court
We affirm Frederick S. Farrington’s conviction for sexual battery upon a child under the age of sixteen years in violation of section 800.04(3), Florida Statutes (1991); however, we certify to the Florida Supreme Court the same issue which we certified in Jones v. State, 619 So.2d 418 (Fla. 5th DCA 1993), rev. granted, 629 So.2d 133 (Fla. 1993), namely, whether the constitutional right to privacy renders unconstitutional that portion of section 800.04 which provides that consent is not a defense to a prosecution for sexual activity with a minor under age sixteen.
AFFIRMED.
