Bullshit or Appropriate?

Zach Anderson (pictured with his parents upon his release from prison), 19, has been put on the sex offender register for a 25 years after having sex with a 14-year-old girl in Niles, Michigan, last December.
Zach, from Elkhart, Indiana, was arrested after his date's worried mother called 911 when her daughter, who has epilepsy, failed to return to the family's Michigan home one night last winter.
He later admitted that he had met the unnamed girl using the app 'Hot or Not' and then traveled 20 miles to see her in Niles in December. They had consensual sex once after meeting, he said. However, he said the girl had lied about her age on the app, pretending she was aged 17, not 14.
The girl subsequently admitted she had lied and she and her mother testified on Zach's behalf in court - but the judge still sentenced Zach to 90 days in prison. Now, the teenager's parents are appealing his probation terms.
In addition to having to be registered as a sex offender until he's 44, Anderson has been banned from owning a smart phone or using the web for the next five years, cannot talk to people aged under 17, and cannot visit premises that serve alcohol. Zach met the girl via the online hookup app, 'Hot or Not?', on which she claimed she was 17.
