(respectfully stated) Please show me the links. Here are mine.
I found ONE medical journal article where fecal smearing was identified as a symptom of sexual abuse in MALE ADOLESCENTS, but these incarcerated male teens also had Oppositional Defiant Disorder, RAD, or had a psychotic disorder. ODD/Conduct Disorder/RAD children smear feces to control/anger others.

One-third of children who are sexually abuse will show NO symptoms. If children who have been sexually abused show any symptoms, it will likely be an increased interest in anything sexual or avoidance of anything with a sexual nature. They may also display knowledge of sexuality that is not age appropriate (demonstrated through inappropriate interactions with other children, through excessive masturbating, or through drawings).

Fecal smearing has nothing to do with anything sexual in young children. I can't find any medical articles stating that abused children do this to stop predators. For children who are not autistic or psychotic and have displayed appropriate toilet training in the past, it is related to anger or seeking negative attention. (Choose any alphabet diagnosis-RAD, ODD, CD, Major Depression with psychosis, and etc...)
Fecal smearing can be a symptom of something sexual as in paraphilia in ADULTS, but otherwise
there is not anything in the medical literature that states that children become feces smearers to deter sexual attacks.
Stool leakage and blood from anal penetration can be found in underwear of children who are anally raped, but this is very different from the child intentionally smearing feces around the room or onto objects.
