I don't understand where you're trying to go with this.
Children already can't vote, survivors of rape or not, because they're children and the right to vote excludes children.
I'm pretty sure children can own lands and property, but in most cases they can't access said land or property until they reach the age of majority, regardless of previous victimization or not.
So, once again, not sure where you're going here.
There's also likely a bit of confusion over how we're defining childhood. Obviously, sexual assault doesn't catapult a child into the age of majority, but it does change the natural development of the child into an adult in ways that are not reversible (and are, therefore, irrevocable).
People who research childhood agree that there are certain things children should be doing at certain ages. Being raped or sexually assaulted severely disrupts that progression, and has long-ranging consequences on into adulthood. That's what I'm saying. Not that a child is assaulted and all of sudden becomes an adult.
