Guy loses job and house, is jailed and put on sex offenders register because a 12 year old girl lied about her age

So he met her on an 18+ app, she lied about her age, they didn't even have sex, and he got 2.5 years in jail

Female teachers meet little boys in their classrooms, are fully aware of their age, actually have sex, and mostly avoid jail altogether--getting things suspended sentences and probation--or get a few months at most

That's the Criminal "Justice" System for you

I am not for adults having sex with people under the age of consent.

I am not for locking up people for meeting those who actively lied about their age.

There is a big difference between knowing a girl is 12 and meeting her (because you are a pedophile) and thinking the 12 year old you are meeting is 18 because they are on an 18+ app.

Why is the second one even a crime? Meeting 18+ to have consensual casual sex was supposed to be part of the sexual revolution... I thought.

If you are a man and meet up with someone you are somehow expected to know their age (ask for an ID?) before it's ok to do any of that.

WTF?

I could focus on the fact that his mistake was not to confirm that the young woman was the age she said she was; in this day and age, taking a (young any-age teenage) woman's word for how old she is, without making sure-- if for no other reason than to cover his ass???--makes him a fool. But I won't focus on that.

What I'll point out is that she lied about her age, and because of her lie, she aided and assisted in someone else committing a crime. For that fact, SHE should face criminal charges as well, for lying, as well as for aiding and abbetting the commission of a crime.

She was 12....

I really doubt he couldn't tell she was under 18

I understand the argument here and I get it. What there actually a crime committed here? Well, yes but only in a particular context.

Honestly, I'm not sure how somebody can mistake a 12 year old for an 18 year old. I've never seen a kid that age who could pass for 18 but maybe I'm not looking hard enough.
