From the article it appears that he is being charged with hacking the school website in order to upload the video, not being charged for preserving the content for authorities.
That being said, I still think the relative sentences are really out of whack, and that rapists (even juveniles) should absolutely be more harshly punished than hackers who do not hack in a way that causes significant harm.
The funny part, if you actually read the article, is that HE didn't even hack the website. The person who did contacted him and admitted it. The FBI seized his computers to get that evidence and are charging him as an accessory.
