Having known April in college, I am more inclined to believe that she did nothing wrong and that this is another example of redneck homophobia and hypocrisy. Based on the very weak report and emotional but empty public statement from Barney Fife, I can easily imagine the following scenario.

Mom finds daughter looking at lesbian porn online. Daughter tells mom that she's gay. They fight. April's name gets thrown into argument. Mom blames April for "corrupting" her little girl, so she calls Barney Fife. Fife calls the FBI and says "errast dat lersban!" . The judge , elected by a bunch of ignorant rednecks, acts like a redneck and demands half a million in bail.

Half million? Really? How about house arrest and an electronic monitoring?
