Zach Anderson, the 19 year old sentenced to 25 years on the sex offender list for sex with a girl who lied about her age was just re-sentenced.

So if I'm reading this correctly, he's only allowed to use internet for anything that is school related work? How long does this "ban" last?

They basically know she lied and he still has to live like a hermit and be on his state's sex offender registry? This can only be classified as a "win" compared to his first sentencing. It still remains ridiculous otherwise.

Meanwhile the woman who sexually abused an 11 year old boy in England and others goes free.

When adult women do it to underage males and admit it, the judges make excuses for the female predators.

(she's immature, she was lonely, her husband neglected her)

This pisses me off more then anything because it completely disregards the fact that HE was defrauded by HER into committing this "crime". He wasn't willing or witting to commit the crime. Just completely evil for the government and courts to side on the side of the girl.

That's a positive result for Zach, but the male predator/female victim stigma will be with us for a long time.

Puritanism is in full swing in America, apparently. It is not immoral to look for sexual partners using the internet.

There is, from what I have read, no evidence that the 19 year old was seeking out underage sex partners.

edit: CNN calls him a "man" in their reporting. It would be very interesting to compile statistics of how CNN refers to men, women, girls, boys, children, etc, and the actual age and gender of the person to whom they are referring. it might take 6 months or a year, but you could probably put out something before the election that would woefully embarrass CNN.

As soon as this story hit the news he was fucked. Any employer is going to google his name and see this shit and probably not hire him based on that. Anything but a total dropping off all charges is a loss and while we may be making strides in regards to the outrage this caused we are still a million years from where we need to be.

These kinds of situations are why strict liability has no place in the law.

Vance87 · 2015-10-20T22:41:04+00:00

Why? Just fucking why? What is the point of this?

Still unfair. He has done literally nothing that any sensible person would see as improper.
