This this this.

OP, I work for a victim organization. Take your time. Find therapists (for both of you) who have experience in this area. Reporting MUST be your daughter's decision, and hers alone, after discussing all the ins and outs with a victim advocate. Look up your locality's criminal and civil statutes for reporting. It will probably be 18yr + 2, but may be earlier or later. Given the lack of physical evidence at this point, there may not be much that could progress through the criminal system, but she may choose to pursue a civil suit down the line.

The suggestion to contact RAINN was spot on. Many people she may disclose to will be mandated reporters. They SHOULD tell her this upfront. However, they can't report what they don't know. Even if she discloses her age, if they don't have her name, address, etc., they'll have nothing to report.[/quote]
