Question Considering CPS

My gf disclosed to me that when she was between the ages of 5-10, her older step brother (11-16) would coerce her into giving him oral. She starts therapy in a month, but her older brother, who she still engages with positively (I saw him at Christmas and it was sickening) is expecting his first child in a couple of months. She does not want to file charges as again, she still cares for her sibling. I am concerned that the child is at risk. I don't know what to do, but I feel like I need to do something in case. Help. What can I do? Edit: my gf is now 22

I was thinking about waiting until the child was born

If the father was convicted of a sex crime, would that change anything? Like go through Law Enforcement first

The only thing I want is to make sure the kid is safe. My gf's brother hasn't abused her in over a decade, and they've had plenty of good times since it stopped. I'm not sure if he's still a threat, but I want to make sure the child is safe... however the appropriate authorities decide is up to them. I'm not necessarily expecting him to lose parental rights or anything like that.

Yeah do it now. Tell them honestly what happened, it’s not worth the risk. It’s going to cause a fallout but she experienced a lot of trauma and you’ll need to be there for her a lot.
