As ____ ____ sits in the Berrien County Jail in St. Joseph, Mich., his parents worry. And plead. And fight.
The young man from Elkhart, 19, pleaded guilty in Berrien County, Mich., Trial Court in March to a misdemeanor count of criminal sexual conduct for having sex — consensual sex — on Dec. 19, 2014, with a Niles, Mich., teen. She said she was 17, and met him in person after a whirlwind courtship in cyberspace that started with a meeting via the social app Hot or Not. Full Article
You MISSED the reference ! It’s a real JUICY, LONG article. Boy, 19, Girl, 14 with epilepsy. Wham bam, and gets her home in ONLY ONE HOUR ! But MOM calls POLICE worried because Daughter left epilepsy medicine AT HOME ! Incorrect evidence, conflicting laws.. WHO HAS THE MOVIE RIGHTS ??
The South Bend Tribune, 5/20/15, “Was Justice Served After Teen’s Encounter With Girl”, by Virginia Black.
The link to this article is missing. It is:

“The Elkhart Truth” referenced is the watered down version. But “The South Bend Tribune” version is the REAL DEAL. Compare the two and you’ll see…
It all is so damn sad. The girl is following nature for God’s sake. With her epilepsy she must have a SUPER-PROTECTIVE MOTHER. So the girl tries ANY WAY she can. Now she knows she’ll only be gone for an HOUR, so of course she LEAVES THE STUPID MEDICATION HOME !! Ah, but NO… PROTECTIVE MOM calls the godamn Cops ! We are only talking ONE HOUR here, which means MOM probably only waited a FEW MINUTES to summon the Five-Oh. Then, say 15 minutes for the fuzz to arrive, and VOILA, the BOY IS CAUGHT…After all, the boy is NOT a rapist; and he was taking her home…..
TIMMR : WHAT YOU WROTE on this thread earlier, June 5, Duggar scandal, fits EXACTLY in this case:
” ..the SYSTEM is simply motivated to look for blame, and to enact punishment..”
FUNNY how different newspapers have DIFFERENT VERSIONS….
Well; looks like there’s going to be one more person on the sex offender registry that is not a sex offender. I wonder if “just one child” is going to be saved by destroying this kids life. This case, as well as many other cases highlight how nonsensical and out of hand these laws have become.
Welcome to Price Club kid
After connecting on Hot or Not, the two texted back and forth and, along the way, the girl told Zach Anderson she was 17. He asked her for pictures “of intimate body parts,” Jerry Vigansky, an assistant Berrien County prosecutor, said at sentencing.
It’s a darn good thing Mr. Vigansky didn’t find any pictures of intimate body parts or this poor young bloke would probably be facing 5-10 yrs. in prison. In Michigan it’s okay to have sex with a 17 year old, but for christ sake don’t look at naked pictures of him\her.(WTF) The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
