Yes, if the one having sex with the 16 year old is also a minor. Otherwise, an adult could be found guilty of statutory rape.
Why do you think they call it jail bait?

The age of sexual consent in Florida is 18. The age of sexual consent is 16 for adults who are under 24 years of age, or if the adult that is 24 years of age or older is married to the minor.
