At age 7 and 8, if this did happen, you were both really young children and at this age, I don't believe that children would know there was anything wrong with their behaviour. He may have issues now as an adult if he feels he did have unwanted early sexual contact, but in my opinion that would not mean that the other child was therefore responsible for their behaviour and "molestation" would not be an appropriate term to use. I am sure a 7 year old who was being forced to have sexual contact with a much older child (aged 14) would just be acting out this imbalance of power, in the same way that kids may play at being super heros or other characters - at 7 I do not believe that a child would know their behaviour was wrong.
