Strict liability is a great legal principle and a nice clean line in the sand, but real human relationships aren't that well defined and I find it hard to believe he had no say in the matter at 16. She had more experience than him, so she certainly deserves more of the responsibility, but this wasn't something he had no say in. People don't suddenly become adults the minute they turn 18, they gradually learn the role, which includes responsibility.
