PER CURIAM.

Affirmed. See Barron v. State, 217 So. 3d 1088, 1091 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (allowing trial court to weigh and consider competing expert testimony to determine if the probable cause threshold is met); see also Vega v. Dep't of Child. and Fams., 215 So. 3d 193, 194 (Fla. 3d DCA 2017) (“The trial court properly found the statute at issue to be constitutional.”); see also Anderson v. State, 93 So. 3d 1201, 1209 (Fla. 1st DCA 2012) (Padovano, J., concurring) (“It is doubtful that the statute of limitations can be applied at all in a Jimmy Ryce Act proceeding, as there is no point at which the action can be said to have accrued.”).
