I know for a FACT that many children don't cry when being molested. Whether they cry depends on many factors such as pain, force, or fear. They often don't really understand what is happening, but they are left feeling shamed and guilty.
As for them having no sense of sexuality, clearly you don't know many children well. A lot of kids discover their bodies pretty early even if they don't understand it.
