My 12 year old boy is coming home with alarming questions these days. Fortunately, when he was 8, things were still sort of innocent. I think so much of it has to do with how society has become. I mean, I didn't know half of what my son knows at the age of 12.
My first instinct when reading your post is that you should get in touch with this boy's parents. Did the teacher even make the parents aware of their child's behaviour? It is inappropriate, even if the kid thinks it is funny. And that boy should have a stern talking to.
I hope your daughter can process it though I am sure she can with a loving and supportive Mom like you.
