She has to tell someone and report it as:

1. It's a crime and he needs to go to jail.

2. It can help prevent other potential victims. Chances are he would sexually abuse someone else if it isn't stopped now.

3. So she can get help and go to counselling which can help her to move on, plus it is a good idea if she goes to a clinic and get an exam just in case. Her physical health could be at risk.

It's not a pleasant or easy thing, but he needs to stop. Often victims of abuse have trouble concentrating, so it could also effect her school work as well.

It's the best thing and the right thing to do in my opinion. No one should have to go through with this and he shouldn't get away with it.

She shouldn't lose her scholarship if she reports him as it isn't her fault and she did nothing wrong, but if her grades start slipping she could lose it though.


THIS^ The s**t needs to END NOW; I'm sorry you have to deal with this horrible situation and I'm happy that you're helping your friend.

Oh, I just want to add something. This girl's family is not very well off. She has a scholarship to a really good school, and i don't want to do anything to take this away from her.

I doubt reporting the abuse would hurt her getting a scholarship. Colleges don't really go, "Well, this one's been abused. She's probably got issues, we can't have this one running around."
If anything it might help her, and a broken home does help with FAFSA too... bad conditions normally get more scholarships than happy, upper-class backgrounds..
Or that's what I would think anyways.

No, that's not what I meant. I wouldn't want her to be forced to move away from her neighborhood and thus farther away from the school because of complications as a result of reporting the incident

Hm, true, that is a problem. There are other ways to help, without reporting..
