  1. Most states would abhor a child rapist so aside from being branded a s*x offender the sentence would be severe 25 plus years.


  2. lock up, and shipped to a Treatment Center In Your Near Location, and at age 18 depending of quality of trement center will deturmen what happens next

  3. Eight years in Juvy.

  4. The death penalty.

    If the judge is in a good mood, life imprisonment.

  5. The answer to your question depends on the state.  The reason the state matters is:

    1) Some states recognize "Rape of a Child" laws which criminalize s*x with a child 14 and younger (generally) and punish them harder then most s*x crimes.

    2) Certain states will allow 16 year olds to be prosecuted as an adult.

    Assuming that the defendant is prosecuted as an adult, a 20+ year sentence is quite possible.  This is because it would be second degree rape with an aggravating factor (rape of a child).  If rape of a child isn't recognized in your state, it is possible that the DA would bump the charge from 2nd degree rape (which is a "standard" rape charge) to first degree rape.  This would also yield a 20+ year sentence.  

    The odds of the defendant being charged as an adult is quite high because of the age of the victim.
