This is a tragic result of how broken our criminal justice system in the United States. On a dating app, this young man met what he thought was an 18-year-old girl. She lied. She was 14 but, he had no way of knowing that. The girl’s Mother even testified on his behalf pleading NOT to make him a sex offender but, they did anyway. Now, this poor young man’s life is now ruined.
Please read the article below. It can happen to any young man. I know of two young men this has happened to personally! This can easily happen to MY 18-year-old son. Cases need to be looked at according to circumstances and NOT just thrown into a pile of cases to get through quickly just to get home at 5pm for dinner. These are people’s lives!
Things need to change!
