I'm afraid that your basic problem is that the JTS classes are not
geo-spatially aware.  They assume that you are using a Cartesian
coordinate system.

Depending on the specifics of your app, perhaps the GeodeticCalculator
class might help ?
http://javadoc.geotools.fr/2.5/org/geotools/referencing/GeodeticCalculator.html

Of course, there is no problem using JTS classes for proximity and
containment tests if you can transform your data to another coordinate
system.  For instance, if your calculations only ever involve features
that are geographically close, you might re-project to the appropriate
UTM tile.  If you are working with geographically distant features
then you could, I suppose, use one of the whole-earth projections such
as "google mercator" (EPSG:3785).

Perhaps someone here who know more about referencing than me (almost
everyone :) can provide some more advice.
