4. If these allegations are true, the most likely scenario is that at least one of the boys is a victim

Kids that young learn these behaviors from somewhere, and most likely it's through being abused themselves. The most benign possibility is that at very least they are being encouraged by one or more adult to do girfriend/boyfriend stuff with girls, and have had access to advanced 'material' (porn, seeing an adult couple having sex). However, most likely one or both are victims of sexual assault, and are acting those behaviors out on other kids. It is not uncommon, as we tried to explain in the 'boy gets suspended for kissing girl'-threads.

Tragic, tragic, tragic. I hope they get everything into the light, and that *all* the kids get the help they need.
