Why was this called Chet ha'Ne'arim"?

1.

Kli Yakar (Lani'ado) citing Mahara: People say that the youths are Bnei Eli. Really, they are young Kohanim. Their sin resulted from seeing ha'Anashim, i.e. Bnei Eli, despise Kodshim.

2.

Kli Yakar: The youths are the Kohanim's helpers. To Anashim (Yisrael), it seemed like a simple Chey. "Es Pnei Hashem", Who knows what is in the heart, it was a great sin of disgracing Kodshim.

3.

Malbim: The youths are the Kohanim's youths. Chet is Shogeg 1 . Indeed, one may roast the meat before Haktaras ha'Chelev; only eating before Haktarah is forbidden. However, they have no right to take it before Haktarah. Even so, it was a great sin, for it made people disgrace Kodshim.
