Having sex someone with underage is against the law. If you do it, it's your fault, you committed a crime, and the justice system is not wrong for making you accountable for that crime.
"I didn't mean to do it!" is not a valid defense and establishing a precedent for making that a valid defense would do more harm in the long term, than good.
