Summary:

These consolidated cases involve Robert Willis Brooks (Seminole County) and Ronald Rife (Brevard County), both convicted of sexual acts with minors. In both cases, the trial judge departed downward from the penalty recommended by the sentencing guidelines based on the minor's willing participation. The Fifth District Court affirmed and certified the question to the Supreme Court.
