It isn’t an indecent or inappropriate act.

If you are asking about the statute of limitations, it's generally four years.

Confidentiality of what? - and keeping it confidential between who and whom? You need to post a new inquiry with more details.

How long ago did this happen? You may have a civil case against him but more facts are needed. You should reach out to counsel here in Florida for a private free phone consultation.

Assuming you are referring to "cosmetology" as defined in Florida Statute 477.013 (4), no, it is doubtful. The conduct you describe doesn't appear to be a crime.

Your question doesn't make a lot of sense. What is a "Me Too crime"? What state was it committed in? What state will be prosecuting? What does it have to do with Florida? And what would a personal injury claim have to do with a criminal prosecution?
