They may also include the illegal possession and/or distribution of other images and videos obtained without consent, soliciting prostitution, exchanging sexually explicit messages with minors, or attempting to lure minors for the purpose of sexual abuse.

• • Drug crimes: Using the internet to obtain or distribute drugs, including prescription drugs without a prescription, is a crime.

• • Gambling: Participating in gambling not sanctioned by the state of Florida, even when done through the internet, can lead to charges.

• • Human trafficking and kidnapping: The internet can be used as a means to move others around against their will, including children.

• • Virus distribution: Using the internet to spread viruses and other malware can lead to significant charges and penalties.

• • Phishing: This involves making attempts to scam others out of sensitive information through emails and other online communications.
