Well if it isn't true I am sorry for your friend.He'll have to spend money for a lawyer I am afraid and sometimes these strange cases turn bad. I hope not.
My husband and his friend were acused of the same thing in communist Hungary back around 1965 or so. They really had a hard time because over there then you were quilty until proven innocent. They were innocent, they were very popular guys at the dance clubs back then and a young girl wanted them to like her, when they told her to go away, she pulled this lie.
They were held in a bad jail for over 2 months before the case went to court. the girl thank God realized what she had done and told the court she had lied.My husband still wont talk about the time he was in the communist jail system.

That's going to depend on the judge and the prosecutor, if it's he said vs. she said it could go either way. In most cases the district attorney will review the case and decide whether to charge your friend, if no evidence is found it won't be pursued any longer. If the district attorney decides he wants to pursue the case it will go to court unless your friend pleas out.

All rape is statutory... meaning codified in statute. Obviously you mean unlawful sexual intercourse with a minor (title changes by state).
A victim statement is evidence, albiet not the greatest. So, in this case, sounds like there was evidence. Get an attorney.

Legally he is innocent til the state says he's guilty. That says nothing about the court of public opinion. I'd advise your friend to keep as much space between him and the young lady as possible.

He needs good lawyer he is innocent till proven guilty. If he did not due then he should have alibi for time she said they were having sex and their lack of physical evidence will hurt their case.

if a complaint was filed with the police, there will be an investigation. however, he could still be convicted depending on the outcome of the investigation. if it was not reported to police, no sweat. stay away from young girls under 18, because they are hot to trot and will get you in deep trouble.

TO HAVE AN ACCUSATION YOU HAVE TO HAVE A VICTIM??
TO HAVE A SEX CASE CHARGED YOU HAD TO HAVE HAD SEX??
IT IS HER WORD AGAINST HIS IN A COURT OF LAW OR A PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATION
TO PROVE OR TO DISPROVE THAT IS FOR AN ATTORNEY-- SEX WITH A MINOR IS WHAT THEY CALL SAN QUENTEN QUAIL--15 WILL GET YA 20

nothing can happen to him if there's no evidence. If he didn't do it, he should have a good explanation of where he was when she says she was raped. Also, there are examinations that can be done on the girl to see if she was forcefully penetrated.

Corroboration is required, witnesses, physical evidence, etc. On her word alone it just wont float.
