> most victims of CSA don't fully understand what is happening
Most victims of CSA are minors. No wait: all of them. CSA is a crime precisely because the victims are not able to understand what happens to them and not able to react appropriately. That's the distinction between minors and adults.
So something can be wrong, even if the victims don't realize it's wrong until some time later?
Yes, minors are expected to be unable to understand, especially in regards to sex.
Adults are considered able to navigate sex & relationships and should take responsibility for what they do and what they don't do. There might be exceptional cases (e.g. cults) but I still think that public accusations of abusive behaviour in adult relationships, when they come with such delay, should be put under the utmost scrutiny.
