my friend was very drunk at a party and his girlfriend had sex with him, and he was really really drunk. The thing is they are both underage, how do I proceed without incriminating my friend for underage drinking even though he technically got raped.

You're friend didn't do anything wrong, if he was raped, he was the victim of a crime. There are many agencies he can contact for help with this issue and here is a list of them by county:

Just have him look up and get in touch with the one from the county he is in. Many of them have a hotline number he can contact first if he has any questions about what's going to happen. That might help ease his mind about the underage drinking part. Thanks for being a supportive friend and making sure he gets help. You can call/text us anytime at 888-222-2228. -
