Children who are sexualized learn to regard themselves as objects who exist for the pleasure of others. For girls this is intensified by the fact that the most visibly successful women are so largely because of their appearance and sex appeal. It stands to reason that an abused girl would seek to redirect the exploitation in a way that benefits and possibly even 'redeems' her. So I don't think they are trying to re-victimize themselves at all. To the contrary, I believe they are trying to NOT be victimized anymore, using the only resources they think they have at their disposal. Unfortunately, many of these young women encounter sleazy lowlifes who are aware of this and use it to exploit them yet again.
