Girl lies about her age; guy gets 90 days + Sex Offender Registration

Reason article
i hope this prosecutor rots in whatever hell(s) exist
quote:
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.
quote:
The girl readily admitted that she lied about her age, and in this WSBT-TV interview her mother admitted that Anderson “didn't do anything my daughter didn’t do.” Everyone agrees the encounter was completely consensual. The only reason the police became involved at all is because the girl suffers from epilepsy, and when she didn't come home as quickly as expected her mom worried and called the cops for help.
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."

That really is shite. The fact that you have to check someones drivers license before acting is sad. Trust is at an all time low.

At sentencing he told Anderson, "You went online, to use a fisherman's expression, trolling for women to meet and have sex with. That seems to be part of our culture now: meet, hook up, have sex, sayonara. Totally inappropriate behavior. There is no excuse for this whatsoever."
frick that judge, too

the sex offender part really sucks and should be waived. 90 days, just be grateful not 9 years

That's his problem. Do the crime, do the time.

Kudos to the mother for realizing her daughter did a whorish act and to ask the judge 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.
Absurd as well.

shite like this really screws the sex offender list up, and it has wider implications. Obviously the guy's life is ruined and he's not finding a white collar job any time soon. But even property values in his neighborhood are going to take a hit. People look at that map before buying a house, and this dope's house is going to be on there for 25 years because of some overzealous prosecutor.
Thank god the prosecutor is also bad at his job in addition to being a crusading douche.
quote:
the family is about to try to withdraw the original plea deal Zach agreed to, because, he says, "The prosecutor violated the plea."
You see, in Michigan there is a leniency provision for first-time offenders under age 21. It keeps them off the registry. As part of the plea deal, the prosecutor had agreed not to take a position pro or con on whether to apply the provision to Zach. But when it came time for sentencing, the prosecutor reminded the judge that he had denied leniency in similar cases twice before.
That struck defense lawyer Scott Grabel as not exactly neutral. "He did us a favor," says Grabel, "because now we have a basis to withdraw the plea."
Thank god the prosecutor is also bad at his job in addition to being a crusading douche.

That's what happens when you have people who are completely out of touch with reality making laws and enforcing them

Ahh, the guy in the thread that thinks all laws are currently perfect.

Someone needs to kick the shite out of this judge and tell him that one in three marriages start by people meeting online. Yeah, most people frick before marrying these days, and it doesn't matter how you met. What a fricking douche.

i saw an article about that a week or so ago...i think by reason.
the sex offender registry is a great idea in theory, but overzealous authoritarian assholes have basically made it almost without worth

If you can't tell a girl's 14 instead of 17 maybe you better keep your pants zipped.
