It's fairly common for victims of sexual abuse to become sexualized as one of the effects - either oversexualization or totally avoiding sexuality can happen, and I don't know that there is any way to predict which extreme a victim is more likely to gravitate towards. Either way can really interfere with their life. It's sad that she was abused, and I hope that she can make a better life for herself.
