Opinion

No. 85-2787.

March 24, 1987.

Appeal from the Circuit Court, Pinellas County, Jack A. Page, J.

James Marion Moorman, Public Defender, Bartow, and Brad Permar Asst. Public Defender, Clearwater, for appellant.

Robert A. Butterworth, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and Gary O. Welch, Asst. Atty. Gen., Tampa, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

We affirm the appellant's conviction and reject his contention that section 800.04, Florida Statutes (1985), is unconstitutionally vague when applied to children under sixteen years of age. Accordingly, as in L.L.N. v. State, 504 So.2d 6, on rehearing (Fla. 2d DCA 1987), we declare section 800.04, Florida Statutes (1985), to be valid.

SCHEB, A.C.J., and RYDER and HALL, JJ., concur.
