Quit calling him a "teen"

Drudge and the Daily Mail should really rethink the headline “Teenager jailed for 15 years after using Facebook to blackmail seven students into sex.”  He’s 19 years old, meaning he’s not a minor.  (Doesn’t it seem a bit idiotic to point this out?)  And while I’m not seeing any comments in the thread at present, when I read it yesterday the British commenters roundly applauded the heavy sentence, which I thought was most interesting; many said he would have gotten a slap on the wrist in the UK.
