More details to this question:
My friend is going forward pressing sexual assault charges against a man, and my other friend is quite nervous because he was drunk underage the night this happened. He's worried legal consequences will happen to him if he testifies because of his underage drinking. Also, he's worried about the legal consequences for him if he gets named in either the attacker or the victim's testimony in a situation like "I got drunk with (name) and (name) on that night and previous nights".

Worries should be minimal; satisfaction about doing the right thing should clearly outweigh those worries.
