I disagree here. It isn't the state's place to seek revenge, and that is clearly what it was doing here. Revenge is much different than justice.
BTW, there isn't anything illegal about misrepresenting yourself to someone if you aren't doing it in exchange for anything but friendship. People do it all the time, on different levels. Just sounds like this case got out of hand, but doesn't sound like he was being malicious about it. Girl's decision to attempt suicide over it, was her own decision and all responsibility for that lies on herself for not being able to handle life disappointments.
