Parents need to warn their teenagers about this type of danger.

A 19-year-old Indiana man landed on the sex offender registry in two states after using an app to hook up with a girl who lied about her age.
Zach Anderson of Elkhart, Ind., used the "Hot or Not" app to connect with a 14-year-old Michigan girl who told him she was 17, CNN reported. Anderson had sex with the girl, and was later arrested.
A judge sentenced Anderson to six months in jail and five years probation — and placed him on the sex offender list in both Indiana and Michigan for 25 years.
As a result, Zach is not allowed to live at home with his 15-year-old brother and his parents. He is forbidden to go to the mall or walk around the park.








You'd think that would fall under "entrapment". Laws are ridiculous in this country. You can get on the sex offender list for many non-sexual incidents even.
