So I'm being downvoted, which I expected because of the subject matter, but I've done research in this area and many of the correlates they talk about are associated with familial and other ecological factors that tend to cluster very locally. I don't even personally believe that sexual abuse is not associated with the things they claim, but statistically speaking, you have many of these things clustering together (sexual abuse, pubertal acceleration, psychiatric challenges), and controlling for things in the way they did is grossly insufficient. A lot of this stuff is very broadband. Let's say you have some stressors from the environment (impoverishment, heavy metals, pesticide exposure, whatever it is). Controlling for demographic and socioeconomic factors will help address this, but the only way to do it convincingly is to look at these variables within-family, preferably controlling for genetic relatedness as well. Otherwise something like, say, chemical exposure is likely to affect children as well as the adults around them in a way that might be specific to a certain household. Not being very precise in your designs does as much damage to isolating confounding environmental causes and effects of sexual abuse per se as anything else.
