Interesting - but what the headline doesn't say is that he had to register as a sex offender, which could have more long-lasting consequences for the rest of his life. I actually think that the sentence he ended up with is more appropriate than a mere jail sentence.
Off-topic rant: it's impossible to read the article below the video because the pause button doesn't work. It stops the video for a couple of seconds and then just goes merrily on, no matter how many times you try to pause it. And when the video finishes, it loads another video for an unrelated news item without giving the user a chance to decline to watch the next video. This sort of design is just plain idiotic.
