OK, but as the 18 year old was sleping with her, shouldn't he, too, face statutory rape charges?
Depends. In Lousiana, if there is two years or less difference between the two, no. >[?

Some states have some laws that “allow” you to have sex with younger people as long as it is 3 years max...at least I have heard that somewhere.
Charging an 18 year old with stat rape of a 16 year old is insane. These charges are designed for hebephiles taking advantage of teenagers, not teenagers having sex with their girlfriends.
Hell, a 16 year old girl is likely more emotionally mature and in a better position to make these kinds of decisions than an 18 year old boy.
