Hi Bill, thank for your analysis of the situation. I personally don´t think there will be any legal consequences of it but I would say he is going to be punished by his own remorses (she was a very dear friend of his, she trusted him and he destoyed it, he has lost a very good friend). They both are teenagers who drank ... I can always be telling him he shouldn´t drink, he loses control, does stupid things and mainly it is so wrong that teenagers drink like that regularly and he just doestn´t listen ... In my opinion it might be a lesson for him (and for her too) ... It probably sounds cruel but sometimes when people don´t understand, something drastic has to happen to them in order to learn the lesson ... So everything you say could be something he will have to go through inside, on emotional level
