Both would be important to me. Aiding a loved one is important for their healing. Helping the attacker may prevent them from re-offending and may encourage others to ask for help before they re-offend.
Indirectly that will help to protect my child. Of course you would have to believe a pedophile can be rehabilitated. I believe.
