She needs to get out of that situation. She is afraid to make her life worse than it is already, but how could it be any worse than it is now? Take her to a shelter. Chances are if her stepfather molested her when she was younger, then he hasn't stopped, & is probably molesting other children. If he is raping your friend then she can report him. It doesn't matter if the rest of her family is in denial about it, if it's true, & the police investigate it, then he'll have to suffer the consequences.
If your friend doesn't take some action she will never be able to end her suffering, & you can't do anything else for her if she doesn't stand up for herself.
Best of luck to you both.

First of all, help her get out of there. She needs to report all of this abuse to the police. There is no time limit to report rape and sexual abuse. She needs your help. If you can't help her yourself, find someone that can. A place to stay until she can get her own place. She needs some mental health counseling. Perhaps you know of a Church that can provide help for her. But please have her report this SOB to the cops as soon as possible. He will do this again, stop the cycle. There are many resources out there that can help her. Good Luck. I belong to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, look up the local one in your area and try to talk to the Bishop or Relief Society President, they will know how to help your friend.

Support her, be there the best you can. Listen. Talk. and tell her to get her *** to a shelter, and then the prosecutor's office.
