It IS his fault and now he's paying for it. So yes, it should be a crime where minors are concerned.

A 16 year old is hardly a "child". Teens do this all the time, why does it make a difference if the guy is 17 or 22? Do you really think the 16 year old was harmed?
And even if it is a crime, 10 years??? That sentence is wayyyyyyyyyyy too harsh for something like this. If a person is given that sentence at 22, their youth is effectively taken away from them. If I am ever given a sentence like that, I would rather die. Anyone who can justify that has a serious lack of compassion for thie fellow human being. If it was your son or brother you would change your mind in a heartbeat.
Also, if it was a 22 year old girl and a 16 year old guy, nobody would say the girl deserves this kind of sentence.
