By making this ruling, the judge has effectively given the green light to teenage girls to purport to be of legal age, thus technically committing fraud, and then get out of it when the relationship no longer suits them or their parents. The judge might as well have ripped down most of the laws that punish minors for using false IDs offline while he was at it.
Be careful when hooking up with other "adults" online--even if they say they're 18, you'll be the one in hot water if they turn out to be 14 instead. That's the opinion of a federal judge in Ohio, who dismissed a suit last week against SexSearch.com, a web site that hosts personals ads by people who are looking for sex. The plaintiff, who went by John Doe due to the very personal nature of the suit, accused the site and its owners of negligent misrepresentation, fraud, and breach of warranty, but Judge Jack Zouhary ruled that the site and its alleged transgressions were protected under the 1996 Communications Decency Act.
Was the guy stupid? Probably. He may have not wanted to know if she was lying because she may have been pretty attractive, and let's face it, he probably felt he couldn't do any better otherwise as witnessed by his use of SexSearch.com. The fact is, the girl violated the terms of service, lied about her age and should herself be serving prison time for lying to him in such a fashion that would effectively be soliciting a crime. I can't see any good reason why she isn't an unconvicted criminal for soliciting sex with a grown man, since that is a crime in every state in the union.
Double standards.
Gotta love them...

or not.

Well, there a lot of girls that look older than they are.
If they're getting away with fraud like this, though, then I'm not surprised; that's just another milestone for the gyno-aristocracy.

Actually, I think this would be the way to go for non-Christian men looking for sex. Sites like this let them avoid all the hassle of a relationship and dating and stuff and just get down to the nitty gritty. It would probably be wise to videotape the whole encounter, though, to protect oneself from fraudulent rape charges.
If you'll forgive another bit of site nitpicking, Mike, you might want to know that your html tags aren't working, at least not on my computer.
It does ultimately serve as a good reminder of why it is best to just avoid the sin in the first place. As I was telling my aunt a week or two ago, since I became a Christian and decided to not have sex again until marriage about two years ago, I haven't had to worry about things like getting sexually transmitted diseases or pregnancy. That freed up my mind to focus on other things that would have tied other men down because of the lifestyle they chose to engage in.
