Is this a long term thing, or just for a couple of weeks?
If it's long term, I'd go with other suggestions (except the rape). Stuff like a computer and internet will be enough he needs in the house, perhaps his own telly in his room and a DVD so he can keep himself amused. Kids at that age don't want to be taken on excursions usually because, sorry to say, you're an adult and therefore "uncool" :D . Take him out for his tea to a nice pub every now and again. I remember when I was 17 I just wanted tonnes and tonnes of privacy and to be able to mope around in peace.

Nice thing you're doing, well done you.
