Contact the court and explain your situation. You can ask to have the matter rescheduled or make arrangements to appear and explain what happened. Doing nothing will end with a warrant for your arrest.

What should someone do if they are being falsely accused of a criminal charge?

Answered by attorney Stephen Lewis Freeborn (Unclaimed Profile)
Criminal Law lawyer at Freeborn Law Offices P.S.
Get an attorney.. At least talk with one. This is a VERY serious matter that could result in some VERY substantial prison time (especially with 10 counts). The fact that the girl may have been "willing" to have sex with this person is absolutely irrelevant because a minor (depending upon how young she is - cannot give consent). If this is statutory rape, all they look at is the age of your friend and the age of the girl(s). Additionally, the fact that alcohol is an issue is also a major concern, especially if you friend supplied the alcohol. If the girl was under the influence, she can hardly give consent, even if she was old enough to do so. It can certainly be argued that your friend got this girl drunk so he COULD have sex with her. If such is the case, this could enhance (add to) any prison sentence. This is nothing to be taken lightly. GET AN ATTORNEY.
