Legal Question in Criminal Law in Louisiana

My 24 year old niece has detailed memories of being molested by her father. Her mother recently confessed to a younger sibling that she knew about it. What charges can be brought against him now and how do we go about doing it? This occurred in Louisiana, but she now lives with me in Texas.
