What is the law for a 16 or 17 year old male having sex with a 14 year old female?

No 14 year old of either gender has any business having sex with anyone of any age.

Simple. It is NOT legal and the 16 or 17 year old can be charged with a variety of criminal violations.
As for which ones.... it is clear that you are either the 14 year old (as you seem sure of THAT age), or this is a homework assignment (due to the age 'range' of the older CHILD!).
In either case, you can read the applicable laws at: http://www.flsenate.gov/statutes/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Index&Title_Request=XLVI#TitleXLVI

Dear Jet,
Thank you for your reply. I am a parent, and am looking for some data on an activity that I do NOT condone.
Can you tell me which statute in the florida code you think would be helpful for me? I went to the website (thank you), but could not wade through it enough to find the right statute.
Thank you.

The 'right' statute depends entirely on the EXACT contact and situations. It is simply not possible to be specific until such time as the criminal act occurs. Until then, only a RANGE of possibilties can be determined.
For example, we all know that theft is a crime. However, we can't determine whether the actual charge is embezzlement, forgery, etc., felony or misdemeanor until such time as the FACTS are set. Same here.
