and yes shaka is right also. to be sorry doesnt automatically leads to forgiveness sometimes there has to be penance made. what if it was the other way around and this guy raped the girl, got away with it and then 5 years later contacts here says he's sorry and he shouldnt have raped her and please let bygones be bygones... would you agree to let this guy off? just let him walk away without any consequense while he ruined a persons a life with his action? even though perhaps he was just a horny 16 yo teenager... and ofcourse he is now a different person.

i very seriously doubt you would
What would you want from her if it would have been you. Nothing to gain here in any way, letting it rest is just better. Forgive her for being incredibly stupid and let her have the life she has now. Sometimes you lose that's just how things go sometimes
