Noo... Commiting a crime isn't limited to the intention to commit, and indictments and judgments are passed all the time for guilty parties who "didn't intend" to commit whatever particular crime is up for review.

Drunk drivers don't set out to kill kids or grandparents or someone's mom. But it happens nonetheless, and manslaughter is the result.

I don't think we can use "well, I didn't *mean* to shoot an underage girl!" as a defense.
