Best Answer

Some doctors have speculated that if a child was having frequent sexual activity it might trigger the production of hormones that cause puberty to begin. But so far as I know, that has never been shown to be the case.

It is VERY important to understand that some children may begin puberty much, much earlier than others and that this is NOT a sign that they have been sexually abused.
