What is the risk factor of the following situation?

Question

You went to a friend’s birthday party and your dad said to call when you were ready to come home. Your friend’s older brother has a friend who says he lives near you and he would take you home. You do not know him and it would only be you two in the car.

Answer 1

Especially if you are female and the friend is male, there is a risk of sexual assault. Regardless of your gender, it puts you at his mercy.

To a great extent, it would depend on what you knew about the older brother and the type of people he has as friends.

Other factors can come into play. How old are you? How old is the friend? Did you call your Dad to tell him who was taking you home and when to expect you?
