The Michigan Court of Appeals says a man who had a teenage romance with a girl he later married doesn't deserve to be on the state's sex offender list.
Robert Dipiazza had a consensual relationship when he was 18 with a nearly 15-year-old in 2004.
A teacher contacted authorities because the age of consent is 16 in Michigan.
A third-degree attempted criminal sexual conduct charge was eventually erased from his record, but he still had to register as a sex offender.
The state appeals court ordered a Muskegon County judge to strike his name from the register.
Dipiazza and his girlfriend were married in April and later had a baby.
