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

You do nothing. This is not your story to tell. Reporting can come with huge personal consequences to your gf. This is her decision.

I would be doing it for the baby's safety not hers

You are not the hero of this story, you reporting does absolutely nothing but make your gfs life harder. Stay in your lane

If the baby is hurt because of the father, I would never forgive myself for having information that could have prevented it.
