Reporting may put your friend in an even more dangerous situation than before. I feel like you’re too young to be here. Maybe bring this up to your parents.
I hate these types of posts because I can’t tell if they are a troll or not. I want to believe they are, but I’m too afraid of being wrong.
This makes my stomach hurt.

Did she tell you or did you witness it? I'd discuss it with her before making the situation too much more complicated.

Tell this friend that you think they should report their Dad but if they're too scared then that's okay. Either way, you're there for them.

Have your friend report to a school nurse, and tell the nurse she's having pain down in her groin. School Nurse is authorized to do physical exams, and must report abuse if present. If a Nurse can see obvious signs of sexual abuse and your friend confides in the Nurse that's it's from her father, police will be called and investigation will start. It'll be scary, and your friend will feel regret because that's her dad but in the end she'll be safe thanks to you.

School nurses are authorized to question students regarding suspected sexual abuse, not physically examine them. Any school employee is required by law to report any type of suspected abuse.

If she reports of pain a Nurse has to examine the area to judge if it needs more medical attention then what the school can provide, which can result in a call to the hospital, CPS, and or parents depending on the situation; it doesn't mean she has to get fully naked for the examination if that's what you're implying, but the Nurse can simply ask questions and put pressure on her abdomen or thigh to see if the pain is only isolated to the groin or if there are any other areas that need attention.
I got this treatment from my school when I injured myself really bad on the playground. After examining me and making sure I'm not getting physically abused at home, my parents were called and I was sent to the hospital.

Please have a look at rainn.org and consider calling the hotline or having her do so. And yes I think you should keep her from him if you can do so safely, but everyone in your household needs to know what's going on.
I will add though that it kind of depends on what he is doing and what's at stake. If his actions in any way approach molestation or sexual assault then it's best to involve the police. If it can be argued that he is just clueless (smack on the butt, for instance) you may want to consider whether it's worth turning her life upside-down and whether the father's temperament is such that talking to him will do anything. Be very careful with this however, as she may seek to downplay his actions or justify them. In any case she needs to talk with someone who is trained to deal with these situations.

Report it to your parents first mate. If they don't do anything then tell the cops yourself. CALL THE NON-EMERGENCY NUMBER NOT 911. Just look it up on the internet for county/city where you live.
