Maybe she doesn't want to say, "Yea mom, I did have sex with him. I am only 16, but I got drunk and had sex with some guy at a fraternity party." I'm not saying this is the case, but maybe...

I don't know -- maybe this is just me, but hey, if I went to a frat party at age 16 and willingly had sex with a guy, I wouldn't tell my mom about it. What would be the point of telling her, when I know she's going to disapprove, unless it was unconsentual?
Add to this the fact that this girl was 16 and the frat boy was probably not, so even if it was consentual, in some states it could be prosecuted as statuatory rape as well, if the mom chose to take it that far.
As for the post after this: What part of the law do y'all not understand? When a girl is intoxicated or under the influence of alcohol or drugs, in most states she is not legally able to give consent. Even if she says it's okay, for all practical purposes, having sex with her is breaking the law. Now is this necessarily very practical, fair, or romantic? No, but it's the law, and you're the one that broke it -- so if some girl decides to press charges for date rape, you can't pass yourself off as the victim.
