The victim doesn't actually have any responsibility to do anything in this scenario as she would likely have no interest in having any interaction with these girls ever again.  You would never say to a rape victim to "thank" their attacker for their apology.  Maybe the girls should write to their school or somebody else about how they behaved poorly and let their educators down by violating school policy and bringing so much shame to the school and their families or perhaps even apologize to their own parents.  But I think any more interaction with the victim would just pour salt on the wounds at this point since it would be contrived and artificial given what we know about the extent of what was previously said about her, what was continued to be said even after they got in serious trouble and were calling in for questioning, and in what you can continue to hear in those defiant/tone deaf tones in various posts on this thread that talk about how this was "private" and the real culprit was the person who told on them.
