all I can think of is that taking money from a perpetrator as compensation would make me feel like a prostitute. And that there is really no monetary amount that would ever "compensate" for the harm done by CSA.
But I think that the general idea was that it is not possible to take money for any reason, as the act of taking it reaffirms the power the abuser has, or somehow otherwise legitimizes the power of the perpetrator.
