Oh yeah. It's certainly possible. People growing up to fetishize aspects of an abusive experience is widely observed. Spanking is one that happens quite a bit. Some adults who have a spanking fetish report being spanked as children.

So if you're asking "could that happen," yeah, it's very likely possible. If you're asking, "can you prove that a fetish was caused by abuse," I'd have to say, one, I don't know, and two, I doubt that you could prove it if you wanted to. Imagine the experiment. You make adults abuse children. Then you wait until the children grow up and ask them about their fetishes. Illegal, unethical, and monstrous to boot.
