Social networking app Grindr is battling a suit in New Jersey federal court brought by a man who alleges the site’s lax age restrictions led him to have a liaison with an underage boy, for which he now faces criminal charges.

In his suit, William Saponaro Jr., of Cape May, N.J., says he was invited on June 21, 2012, to have sex with two other males who had met over Grindr, a mobile phone app geared toward gay men.
