i'm gonna dissent from the majority here (try to contain your shock everyone) and say that you not only didn't go too far, you're not going far enough.
She's living in a fantasy world that she can have this kid and not have to hold him responsible for it because mommy and daddy are paying for it. She needs to learn that there are consequences to being stupid (and having sex at 16 is the epitome of stupid) and that if she doesn't want to step up to the plate and do what needs to be done (get child support) then she will have to bear those consequences. Namely, cut her the hell off for a while - it won't take long before she realizes that money is a necessary component to child rearing. Make her aware that until she's willing to hold her rapist (and I don't have a problem with statutory rape, btw. We're talking about adults having sex with children. That is unequivocably wrong) responsible for what he did, she won't get monetary support from you either.
She wants to have her cake and eat it too - have the baby fully funded without upsetting this guy that she thinks she loves. Unfortunately, that's not how the real world works, and the sooner she learns that the sooner she can start working toward being a responsible adult rather than a spoiled child.
