I think vengeful violence is not a good idea because you cannot defend yourself in the court. If this guy goes to the cops you'll certainly be in big trouble.

My advice is to go to the authorities (whether school, family, cops, depending on your age and situation) yourself, and simply keep your friend anonymous. I'm not sure what the procedures are legally but it should be possible to keep your friend's name out of the picture so she won't have her privacy violated.

You need also to take care of her mental health and recovery but unfortunately it's hard to do that for someone else because they need to take responsibility for their own healing. Do encourage her to see a counselor, find names, set up an appointment, pay for it if necessary...but after that, there's not too much you can do besides be there for her.
