My friend was molested

Your friend can file a lawsuit against those parties who both molested her, as well as any third-party who knew or should've known of the child molestation but failed to take measures to inform the police. If that person was molested in a home, where the third-party had homeowners or rental insurance, there would be a source of recovery that she could sue for. Discuss your case with counsel on contingency fee, which means she doesn't pay anything unless she wins The case. I cocounsel with attorneys in California  on these cases, and I have had a lot of success with them. The statute of limitations is suspended in California during the period that the child was a minor, so there may be enough time that she can bring her case. Discuss with counsel.
