Teen can’t live with his family anymore because a girl he slept with ‘lied about her age’

Zach Anderson is no longer allowed to live at home with his family.

He can’t use the internet, take a walk in the park or go shopping.

In his words, he’s an ‘outcast from society.’

Why? Because he had sex with a 14-year-old who claimed she was 17 and is now a registered sex offender.

The 19-year-old, from Indiana, met the girl via a dating app called Hot or Not, on which she told him she was over the legal age of consent. But Zach was arrested after the pair slept together. Then he was convicted. He now finds himself on the Elkhart County sex offender register alongside child molesters and rapists.

Even the girl’s mother testified in court that she didn’t want Zach labelled as a sex offender because ‘he really is not.’

In a letter written by the girl to Zach’s family, she said she was ‘sorry I didn’t tell you my age. I really don’t want you to hate me.

‘It kills me everyday knowing that you are going through hell and I’m not. I want to be in trouble and not you.’

But Judge Dennis Wiley was far from sympathetic. Sentencing Zach, he said: ‘That seems to be part of our culture now. Meet, have sex, sayonara.

‘Totally inappropriate behaviour. There is no excuse for this, whatsoever.’
