Gay Dating App Leads to Felony Charges
Four men face serious penalties for individually engaging in sexual intercourse with a 15-year-old-boy.

Just because “there’s an app for that,” doesn’t make it legal.
Four Michigan men are now facing felony charges after each had an individual sexual encounter with a then 15-year-old Brighton-are boy, catalyzed by the gay dating app, Grindr, reports the Detroit Free Press.
A family member of the now 16-year-old boy reported the alleged encounters from January and March. Two of the offenders are being held on $500,000 bond, charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes, among other charges. The other two men have been identified and warrants were issued for their arrest.
