It is called "statutory" rape, because under statute, a person who is not an adult cannot give their legal consent under statute. And it almost certainly is. The type of sex almost always does not matter. There may be exceptions (for example, if the two are legally married (yes in some places you can marry someone who is 16 with parental consent), then "statutory rape" would not apply.

If he told anyone that he had sex with her that can be summoned into court to testify as a witness, there is proof, and he can be prosecuted. All persons above 18 should NEVER sleep with a person who is only 16! The laws have been there for years, people are educated about this. This case can be hard to prosecute if it is only the angry mom and the daughter testifying. He needs a lawyer NOW, and a good one. Because of his age being below 21, he might be better off pleading guilty since he did it, on the condition that the prosecutor expunge his record after 5 years more or less. They often do it with young men who have never had a record, and this way, he won't have to register as a sex offender.

Absolutely. There need not be conventional vaginal sexual intercourse for statutory rape to be committed.

Lol, maybe if the judge has a moment of weakness. In America nowadays, you go to jail longer for having sex with a minor, than for killing someone.
