Encourage her to tell her parents or some trusted family member, so they can get her the counseling and emotional help she really must have. There could also be medical issues that she needs to have checked out....sexually transmitted diseases that she could have been exposed to with this encounter, that can cause her major problems if left untreated. She needs to regain the emotional strength, self esteem, and confidence required to be sure she can go forward in her life, stronger, more confident, and not a victim. THIS WAS NOT HER FAULT and she needs the strength and confidence in herself as a young woman, to go forward in her life.

What a great answer!
