I really don't want to be rude, but I have to tell you the first thing that came to my mind, as a bastard child, was:
"Oh, now you want to chime in. Well fuck you buddy."
You're not really a "father", you're more of a sperm donor and a check-writer.
I also don't think it's very manly of you to use some puritanical American laws to seriously damage some guys family & future, because he was born too soon.
My girlfriend is 4 yrs younger than I am and we've been together for 6 years, I'm 25, you do the math, I guess I'm REALLY lucky her dad isn't such a prick.
BTW, and this is just opinion, but isn't a father sticking his nose so far into his daughter's bedroom life, a little.... perverted, creepy, gross?
Not to mention your stubborness isn't gonna change anything for the positive. It will however multiply any negative feelings toward you. Consequently, fucking you out of the joy of being a grandparent.
Is your point of view THAT important?

Lemme 'splain somethin' to ya.
If a 16 year old has a job, and her own place to live, and does not depend on her parents for ANYTHING at all, and her parents do not give her ANYTHING to help her survive, then she shouldn't have to listen to what they have to say.
As long as she has her hand out asking Daddeee for a check, then he has every right to require her to do what he wants her to do.
That sperm donor/check writer comment of yours screams immaturity. Sure, it'd be great from the kid's perspective if she could do anything she wanted and still get everything she wants from her parents, but that's not how the real world works.
If the kid wants to take and take and take from the parent, then the parent has the right to expect the kid to comply with the parent's wishes.
As for the puritanical american laws idea - look, I think this guy has shown remarkeable restraint. I'd throw the fear of God into any jackass who raped and knocked up my daughter. I wouldn't just be getting child support, I'd have his ass arrested and prosecuted.
Gee, maybe the idea that it's bad for men to have sex with little boys is puritanical- maybe the government should stop prosecuting NAMBLA members. Hell let's give 'em a medal! They're pointing out how repressed our society is.
Most 18 year olds are immature as hell even though they're classified as adults. If you don't believe me, go check out any college dorm and see what they're up to.
If you seriously think the average 16 year old is mature enough to make responsible decisions about having sex, then you have a disjointed sense of reality, and I frankly feel sorry for your children.
