Nigerian Sexual Abuse : Spiritual cause?

So today, a friend of mine paid me a visit. During our reminiscing, she retold a rather awful tale which I have decided to publicize. 
While at the saloon earlier today, a very young hawker walked by. She assumed the girls age to be about five; due to her physique, but the hairdresser corrected the impression. The girl was eight years old.
The hairdresser further informed my friend; the girl wasn’t a virgin, sleeps with a lot of men, even her landlord! And she’d begged the Landlord to have sex with her in exchange for one hundred naira.
What got my friend more aggravated was the hairdressers infuriating notion that the girl must be a witch to be able to seduce men even at such tender age.
How could an eight year old; with the torso of a five year old, seduce fully grown men into having sexual intercourse with her without their consent? Were they tied?
And how does witchcraft come into play? 
Despite the arguments my friend routed, the hairdresser was adamant in placing the blame on the minor; who’s periodically violated, rather than the real sexual deviants. 
My two cents; Parents and guardians, seek redress so this perverts would be punished for their crimes, rather than blame spiritual forces for screwed up brains. 
What’s your opinion?
