In 2002? So he was 18? Probably fucking a 17 year old, big deal. Let’s keep things factual hey, this isn’t reddit or elsewhere.

Well, according to the prison records, his sentence was for 10 Years. So, it's unlikely to be some sort of statutory rape of girlfriend. That's some serious time. Followed by a further sentence of 2 Years and 6 Months (likely for a related crime), then another 2 Years and 6 Months for interfering with a monitoring device (likely trying to cut off his ankle monitor).

The ten years is serious time, or statutory rape of girlfriend would be serious time reflective to that?

This info may be relevant:

Sexual conduct with a minor. Sexual conduct with a minor is a crime that involves sexual intercourse or oral sexual contact between a child who is younger than 18 years old, and a defendant of any age. It also includes intercourse or oral sexual contact between a minor who is 15, 16, or 17, and a defendant who is 19 or older (unless the defendant is still in high school), and at least two years older than the minor. (Az. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-1405, 13-1407 (2018).)

Molestation of a child. Arizona law defines molestation of a child as sexual contact without penetration (not including touching a female’s breast) between a minor who is 14 or younger and a defendant of any age. (Az. Rev. Stat. § 13-1410 (2018).)

Sexual abuse. Under Arizona law, sexual abuse occurs when there is consensual sexual contact between a minor who is 14 or younger and a defendant of any age and the contact involves only the touching of a female’s breast. (Az. Rev. Stat. § 13-1404 (2018).)

Sexual conduct with a minor, molestation of a child, and sexual abuse are felonies in Arizona. Penalties vary according to the state’s sentencing grid and may include fines, prison time, or both. Punishments are typically harsher the younger the victim. Increased penalties also apply to offenders with prior convictions and those who were in a position of trust (such as a teacher, clergyman, or coach) at the time of the sexual contact. For instance, a conviction for sexual conduct with a minor can result in a prison sentence ranging from 13 years to life, depending on the facts of the case. (Az. Rev. Stat. §§ 13-705, 13-1405 (2018).)
