When, in this chapter, the criminality of conduct depends upon the victim being below a certain age, ignorance of the victim’s age is not a defense. Misrepresentation of a victim’s age by any person or a bona fide belief that a victim is over a specified age is also not a defense. This section does not apply to s. 787.30 .
