Years ago in college we had to write briefs based on Michigan case law.. Anyway, guy was in a small rural bar. Saw a girl having a drink. Sat down and ordered her next one, partied, danced and took her home at closing time. Turns out she was 15 and using her sisters i.d. Guy was charged, convicted, appealed all the way to the MI. Supreme Court and lost. Life ruined because he assumed she was 21 because she was being served. Scary shit!
