I know a guy who was 18 or 19 and had sex with a 16 year old. He's a registered sex offender and the only thing that kept him from having to tell his neighbors/have a "I'm a sex offender" sign in his front yard was the fact his grandparents paid $10,000 for something(didn't catch that detail too well). He also served 18 months in jail.
It sucks, but you'll probably be branded for the rest of your life, I hope everything goes well, but the law is really just trying to make you look bad and get your money
