Florida is one of the states that has had this law since before I started practicing. Cap Sex (as we call it) is sexual contact with a child under 12 yrs old. Upon conviction, there is a min/man sentence of 25 years. No gain time, no parole. on release, we have the "Jimmy Rice" law, which can lead to a lifetime "civil" commitment. The only practical aspect of making this a "capital" crime is that Cap crimes have no statute of limitations. No one asks for the actual death penalty. No one believes that execution would be remotely constitutional
