She confided in you because she trusts you. If you betray that trust, even with the best intentions, she may feel like she has no one she can depend on. Then she'll be going thru this alone.
It's best if you just stay in her corner, help hee thru this, encourage her to call the police, and get professional help.
If you decide to engage in some street justice, shhhhh. Don't involve anyone else. Sometimes you gotta.do your dirt by your lonely.

I'm confused.
What you wrote and the responses in this thread aren't making sense.

I'm so sorry your cousin is going thru this pain. IA w/ the others that you should keep her confidence and not tell anyone else.

I agree with a lot of what was said already. Family members and friends are rarely encouraged to come forward on the behalf of survivors of sexual assault. They often already feel that control is out of their hands in these situations. Telling or not telling can often be one of the few ways where the survivor still feels some control. We just encourage loved ones to be supportive. Ultimately, the person in the situation has to decide for themselves what the next step is. Giving her some resources could be helpful if she's ready though. http://www.rainn.org is a good place to start. They also have an online hotline if she doesn't want to talk to someone in person or over the phone right now. There's a link on their website for local rape crisis centers in her area. They'll often provide free or sliding scale counseling specifically for sexual assault survivors depending on her situation. If she's not ready for that, just let her know that you'll be there for her and keep telling her that what happened wasn't her fault.
