You should be concerned if you really are a friend. I'm sure you don't want to be
visiting this person in prison. It is statutory rape no matter if it's CONSENSUAL. In
addition, if your friend wants to take that chance, maybe you should remind your
friend that there's alot of non-consensual rape going on in prison...especially to
young 21 year olds by bigger, older, meaner and possibly infected men.
