the best thing my friend did for me was to just hug me close. it's all i needed.

as someone else said, don't bring it up unless she does. make it clear you're there for her if she ever needs to talk, ask her if she wants to talk about it, but if she says no then that's ok. give her some time. if she knows you're there for her she'll bring it up when she's good and ready. and.. y'know, try to make her feel special. remind her that she's special and love and cared for.

yes and listen to what she has to say. don't act totally shocked and overreacting either.

Actually I am just learning about this in Crisis class. You are supposed to bring it up. You are supposed to support her, let her know everything is going to be okay. Help her through this time and especially help her with reporting it.
