He earlier admitted indecently assaulting the 17-year-old, as well as a 15-year-old boy.
Rutledge of Waldegrave Close, Woolston, Southampton, has been sentenced to four years and 10 months in prison.
During his trial, the court heard Rutledge befriended the 17-year-old at a religious camp in Shropshire in 1975.
He later invited the boy, whose father was a naval officer, to stay at his home.
