Oh dear. My suspicion is that recording a conversation with a superior officer would get her in far more trouble than making a formal report.

There are procedures and policies in place,--she needs to follow them whether she believes it will do any good or not, because in the end, it's her word against his and she needs to maintain credibility.

A discreet inquiry to local attorneys who handle this sort of case would be a very good idea, to see what she needs to do to build her own credibility and document what is going on.
