Computer science student Zach Anderson, 19, met a girl, 17, on the "Hot or Not?" app. He was from Elkhart, Indiana. She was 20 minutes over the border in Niles, Michigan. They hooked up. Once.
But it turned out the girl was really 14. She'd lied to Anderson and also in her profile. Now Zach sits in a Michigan jail, serving 90 days. When he gets out he will be on the Sex Offender Registry for 25 years...
In this excellent South Bend Tribune article, the mom told a reporter that she didn’t just ask the judge for leniency, "we asked him to drop the case."...
Now, in addition to registering as a sex offender, Anderson will spend five years on probation, during which time he will not be allowed to live in a home where there is internet access or a smart phone. He will obviously have to change his major. And he is forbidden to talk to anyone under age 17, except his brothers....
Male Teen Has Consensual Sex with Female Teen. He Gets 25 Years as Sex Offender Banned from Internet. - Hit Run Reason.com
One problem is that this 14 year-old girl searching sex through the "Hot or Not?" app.
And the next, the young man's sentence is a true miscarriage of justice. The criminalization of the resultant act and the destruction of this young man's future is the true crime. This kid got sex offender status for making a judge sadface about kids these days.
How long the judges will be allowed to screw up people as they want?
He was a legal adult, she was a minor - and not just slightly a minor. The only person who screwed up this kid was himself.
So, a 19 yr old, naive KID has sex with a 14 yr old girl who lied about her age, and his life is now ruined. That's justice?

Yeah. That's exactly what it is.
How is justice served here? The kid thought he was bangin a 17 year old ho, not a 14 y/o one.
Meanwhile, the ho lied.
And I'm actually with D4E on one thing, I'd sue the **** out of that app.
How
An adult had sex with a 14 year old child. That she lied does not make her any less a child. That is statutory rape under Michigan law. There is no question he did it and he could have gotten up to 2 years in prison for it. He didn't get prison. So I'd say that's justice served.
" Under age 18, women are protected by law; over 65 they are protected by nature, everything in between is fair game. "

"Under age 18, women are protected by law. Over 65, they are protected by nature" - Cary Grant, in "Operation Petticoat."
The girl is 14-makes her a freshman in High School - shesh - doesn't make any difference whether she misrepresented herself as older while scanning porn or dating sites, and BTW, what in the heck would suing the website accomplish? That has nothing to do with the act. The Boy? 19, either graduated HS, or about to start college. He is an adult - no excuse. He went looking for sex, found it, and found a surprise - all his own fault. They were not High School sweetheart's or anything. If anybody should have been charged as an accessory - it is the parents - for contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Guy is darn lucky he didn't get major jail time - the prison garbage in there won't make any distinction between raping a minor, and statutory rape - they ain't lawyers..............
The reason many rapes are not reported, is that girls don't want to be exposed to the scrutiny of the defense, attempting to blame them for being, acting, enticing men into sex they don't want, simply because they are provocative. Gawd gave men enough blood to run two parts of the body, but not at the same time - the brain, and you know what. Sick of the women being portrayed as at fault for these acts. She is a minor - her parents are responsible for keeping her in school until she is 18; protecting her; providing a home and keeping her off of porno computer sites. End of story. At 19, the guy isn't naive, just stupid - he knows where to locate women of legal age for sex, and it sure wouldn't be on the internet. Too risky. Was money exchanged for this? Because anybody can punch up an escort site and be pretty confident the women they hired is going to be age 18 - they don't hire minor's...........
