17	(k) At the time of the offense the defendant was too young
18	to appreciate the consequences of the offense.
19	(l) The defendant is to be sentenced as a youthful
20	offender.
21	(3) The defendant's substance abuse or addiction,
22	including intoxication at the time of the offense, is not a
23	mitigating factor under subsection (2) and does not, under any
24	circumstances, justify a downward departure from the permissible
25	sentencing range.
26	(4) In cases in which the victim is under 16 years of age,
27	the fact that the victim was an initiator, willing participant,
28	aggressor, or provoker of the incident, or consented to the
29	incident, is not a mitigating factor to any offense contained in
30	chapter 794 or s. 800.04 in which consent is not a defense if
31	the offender was more than 4 years older than the victim at the
32	time of the offense. Such fact, under the circumstances provided
33	in this subsection, shall not justify a downward departure from
34	the permissible sentencing range.
