District Court of Appeal of Florida

A juvenile disposition order committing him a juvenile to moderate-risk residential placement as a result of his delinquent acts for the offenses of sexual battery on a child under 12 years of age by a defendant less than 18 years of age is reversed where the lower court erred as a matter of law in deciding it had no legal authority to place the child on probation for such acts.
