I don't know this guy's situation, nor am I defending him, but Florida's really tough, and at times unfair, on sexual offenders cases. Florida stats are really skewed in terms of # of convictions compared to other states, and not because there's more offenders there. They seem to convict a lot more harshly on any sex crime.
Good friend of mine that lives down there pretty much had his life ruined. He was 30 at the time, met a girl at a bar (21+), started dating her, and a month later found out she lied about her age and was actually 17. He broke it off, she got mad, told her dad, and they pressed charges. He was convicted, now he's a sexual offender, lost his job, list goes on. Pretty brutal for a one time mistake because the girl lied.
