6/8/22 Florida Supreme Court Oral Arguments: Garrett Statler v. State of Florida SC21-119
Statler was convicted of sexual battery upon a person over 18 years of age. He appealed to the First District Court of Appeal, arguing that Florida’s sexual-battery statute is unconstitutional. The First DCA upheld Statler’s conviction, and this appeal followed. This Court exercised discretionary review because the district court expressly declared valid the sexual battery statute.
