There's really not much you can do but be there for them. Dont try to give them too much advise, they mostly just need someone to be there and even hold them sometimes. Make sure you're not too tochy, but hugs can be of great comfort. They might not feel like going out much, so just rent a bunch of happy ending movies and bring good getup food, like fruit and etc. Fatty food can sometimes make people feel sluggish.
Take her to a church or pastor, if you know a good one. At this time, she needs to know that everyone is not out to get her. And that you love her.
That's nice of you for caring.

You do not say how you are connected to the person. Are you the teacher? If so, you are a mandated reporter and MUST report this to Children's Services. It is also important to make sure that your principal is aware of what you are doing.
If her family is already aware and is getting help for her then just being a friend is fine. There is not a lot you can do other than be there. If you are the teacher, though, this is not appropriate. If you are the teacher then you need to refer her to the counelor's at your school. It is important that she speak with someone who has experience with this.
One thing that I do know that is important for the victim to understand is that being a victim of molestation is very confusing. If it feels good then you feel like you did something wrong. It is important to know that our bodies are made to respond to touch. If a touch feels good it means that your body is functioning normally; it does not make you "bad" because you liked how it felt.
It is also confusing if it is painful, especially if the person who inflicted the pain is a close friend of family member. It is VERY important to know that this person was wrong; not the victim. The victim did nothing wrong at all.

I hope you have encouraged them to report the incident to the police. The website below has lots of good suggestions for helping them.
People react differently to events like this. Some turn inward, some reach out for support from others. So, it's best to be accepting and understanding. Also, it's important to encourage them to see a counselor.

You direct them to a qualified counselor who can address the issue with a solid foundation in psychology, health and legal issues.

Tell them it is not their fault. They will blame themselves. And above all just be patient.
