Florida Teen Charged With Having Sexual Relations With Younger Girl Urged To Take Plea Deal

Would not be registered as a sex offender if deal is accepted

(CNN) -- Florida prosecutors are pressing teenager Kaitlyn Hunt to accept a plea deal -- one that would keep her out of jail, even if she'd have to admit wrongdoing -- tied to charges she's facing for having sex with a then-14-year-old girl, a state attorney said Wednesday.

Hunt, who turned 19 on Wednesday according to her family, is charged with two felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery after the parents of the 14-year-old went to authorities. Hunt's family says their relationship was consensual, though in Florida a person under the age of 16 is not legally able to give consent to sex.

Bruce Colton, state attorney for Florida's 19th judicial circuit, told CNN that his office offered Hunt the latest plea deal in July.
