Cloudflare won't help at all, but they shouldn't ... I use Cloudflare to my site and it really doesn't have total control over anything. I could just change my MX records to get past Cloudflare and I'd be back in business again in less than 10 minutes. I wouldn't call them enablers, just practical as they don't host traffic at all. I use it because it adds a security level for my domain that I cannot get with my host.
So, now we get to the bare bones with things ... who hosts the site? I know my host would just ignore you and do nothing which is something I need because people can post things in my forums or use embedded video from another site and I need that protection from an incorrect takedown as it would not be my fault or the server's fault for me losing access to my site ... but, in my case, it would be impossible to say anything is hosted on my site as I am the only person allowed to post pictures and videos and everything else is hosted elsewhere (including pictures posted in my forums), but the perception it is hosted on my site is easily seen.
Now, the real case you have here is where is the owner of the site located, and is it a location you could easily sue (and would it still be worth it). I know in my case, I live in the United States even though my host is in the Netherlands. Is the owner of the site definitely the one who posted the content and how is it posted? Like I said for my site, none of the porn on my site is hosted on the site itself (currently), is this site like this?
Lots of questions to ask yourself, but the big thing to take from this is where you may not get anywhere.
