This 19-Year-Old Will Spend the Next 25 Years as a Registered Sex Offender

Story here. Excerpt:

'Zach was arrested last winter after having sex with a girl he met on the dating app “Hot or Not,” who claimed she was 17. But she admitted to police that was a lie. She was really 14.

If he had known she was so young, Zach said, he never would have met her.

“I wouldn't even have gone to her house, like I literally wouldn't have gone to her house at all,” he said.

As a convicted sex offender, the terms of Zach’s probation are incredibly strict. For the next five years, he is forbidden from owning a smart phone or using the Internet. He is not allowed to talk to anyone under age 17, other than immediate family. He is banned from going to any establishment that serves alcohol and he has to be home before 8 p.m. every night.

“They make me out to be a monster,” Zach said. “I can't even look at life regularly.”

His parents say his punishment is cruel and unusual, and they are waging a very public fight, even setting up a Facebook page, hoping to rally support for their son.

Zach graduated high school just last year. Like many teens, he turned to his smart phone to find a date one night. He says he was on the dating app “Hot or Not” for about a week when he started talking to the 14-year-old.
...
“[She] was actually the first person I had met up with or anything from that,” Zach said. “I had asked her when we were messaging. I said, ‘How old are you?’ And then she had told me 17... I just got out of high school. So it's two years difference. I didn't think that was a big deal or anything.”'

put on this horrible list because somehow his wife was younger than allowed by the law. his entire family (wife + 2 little girls) suffered every day because of the stupid laws governing these type things. he couldn't get/keep a job and had to move the day I met him because of the new, more severe laws about where he could live.

btw, my mom was 16 when I was born. her mother was 16 when she was born. her mother was 16 when she was born, and her mother was 16 when she was born. we had like 5 generations alive at one time. guess its a good thing the feminists weren't in charge in days of yore. we might not have been here if they had been.

lesson learned: everything feminists touch turns to chit. its in the Bible you know.

lol

matt, did you ever find out why they keep censoring posts here? I have to constantly keep hitting 'preview' or it gives me the 'forbidden' screen and erases my post.
