The age of sexual consent in Florida is 18. No one under the age of 16 can give consent under any circumstances, according to Florida statutes.
Authorities arrested McGraw after detectives followed up on prior allegations of child abuse and sexual molestation of a child by an adult.
McGraw was an assistant manager at an apartment complex in Port St. Lucie when the sexual offenses allegedly occurred with a child living at the complex, police said.
She would allow the child to use her debit and credit cards, and to drive her vehicle unaccompanied, investigators said.
