I don't know if I'd say that he "skated". It sounds like the charges are appropriate. He didn't rape the girl. He picked up a telephone and requested a prostitute, and he was correctly charged with soliciting a prostitute. Since the girl turned out to be 16, he was also appropriately charged with having sex with a woman without her consent (since she can't give consent).
If the charges had been dropped, I'd agree that he skated. But to convict him of a felony and throw him in jail would have been pretty harsh.
