In this particular case I do think the proper punishment was given. The boy wasn't coerced into sex with her. He was more than willing to play a part. I'd also expect the similar in older men/younger women relationships that play out under similar circumstances. 15 yr old girls can lust over older men just as much as 15 yr old boys can lust over older women.
Maybe instead of reactionary sentencing we can look at things on a case by case basis and see if any harm was done to the 'victim'
