Wait wait wait... I'm a little crossed. You say you don't believe your friend, but you still want revenge on the man that may or may not be responsible for the act?
Well, lets just dive right on in to the revenge piece shall we? Romans 12:19 Do not take revenge, my dear friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay," says the Lord.
Revalations 21:8 But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”
It is not up to you, or anyone else when one man should die because of their actions. God has his rightful place the the Judge.
It is your job, to love, forgive, and care for those who may be victims.
It is our Job as Men/Women of the faith to love all equally, without bias.
John 13:34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.
So be wary of your thoughts of revenge, know that evil begets evil. Be kind for your friend and be there for her. And pray that all men who come to sin one day find the light in the lord so that we may ALL praise his name in his new kingdom

But as I said, Justice will always be served, I would refer you back to revelations 21:8

It is not our place to judge in such ways. "1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye meet, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in your brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye." Matthew 7:1-5

Okay. This is not something I bring up or talk about often because frankly it's personal and not easy to talk about.
As hard as it is, you have to forgive. If you don't, your anger and bitterness will consume you. Yes what whoever it was that did that to her was horrible and awful and cruel and wrong and there is not a single thing that is right about it. HOWEVER. Forgiveness isn't for them - it's for you. I promise you, revenge will not be fruitful and even if he does die, it will not make you feel better for long.
When I was very small, I was sexually abused by a member of the family. My mother caught it quickly and pulled me out of the situation, but the scars remained for a very long time and the abuse is still something that I struggle with.
It took me a long time to let go of the pain that I held and the anger that I had for the person that did it. I can, with all honesty however, say I have completely forgiven them for what they did to me. I genuinely love them, even though they never even apologized to me, never even admitted to me what they did. I have somewhat of a relationship with them and even though they are, at current, very ill, I honestly pray and hope that they will get better because I love them and they are important to me.
I'm not saying this because I think I'm some awesome and amazing person for doing this - I don't. At all. It's all God, and where he's brought me in my healing. I'm not saying you have to have the same, but, you do have to forgive them.
I also used to work with several people who came out of jail and/or prison for various reasons. I know first hand that it does not matter what you do, God can still redeem you. I've seen God do amazing things in the lives of people who, by society's standards, shouldn't be forgiven. As difficult as it is to see right now, yes, it is wrong to actively wish for his death. It is, of course, a normal response, but at some point you have to forgive and let go. Doesn't mean you have to like the person. Forgiveness doesn't even mean what they did was okay or right. All it means is that you are letting go of that anger and bitterness, because believe me, it will not do you a single ounce of good to hold onto it. It will destroy you, I know this from experience. I used to be a very, very angry and bitter person until God finally got ahold of me and started to heal those things in me.
