Think about the errogenous zones in the body and those being highly stimulated.

Now think about how "kids" are still developing these zones and what happens if there is inappropriate stimulation.

How does the body know it's being "touched"?

There are either chemicals or electric-like impulses that are transmitted to the brain. They are either interpreted as pleasure or pain. The ability to be emotionally mature (Emotional Quotient), which is a learned behavior, how does a sexually abused child properly make the pleasure and pain distinction? They don't usually if there is no therapy...

Same thing happens to rape victims...

I am reading a lot of scientific articles in top-tiered journals (Science and Nature, as well as JAMA and NEJM), that are only beginning to elucidate the mechanisms of this process.
