Not an Indiana resident, but I think what I would like changed is the part where the law apparently requires people to refrain from doing things they not only didn't realize they were doing but thought they had taken steps to actively not be doing, and yet holds them responsible for someone else deceiving them into doing a thing without their knowledge.

Anyone who deliberately has sex with someone they know to be underage, or who should likely have suspected was underage, yeah, absolutely, that's morally and legally wrong and they should be held accountable. But if this girl was representing her age as above the legal age of consent on an app where the presumption is that those who are present are in fact of age, I'm not sure what else the boy was supposed to do here or how it's appropriate, logical, or reasonable for the law to have somehow expected him to know what this girl was lying about or not.[/quote]

There is a very simple way to avoid having sex with people who are underage, namely: only have sex with people of whom you are absolutely, positively certain that they are of age. [/quote]
