I have no idea why people take Wikipedia as gospel? Anyone can edit it.
It's possible to be discerning when using Wikipedia and judge how reliable a page is likely to be, e.g. how well sourced it is. The Wikipedia page for this case says the police suspected that James Bulger had been sexually assaulted as all his lower clothing had been removed and refers to what the pathologist's report said had been done to a particular part of his anatomy. This was also reported at the time by The Independent. James Bulger suffered multiple fractures - Pathologist reveals James Bulger had 42 injuries including fractured skull

Venables was convicted of sex crimes after he was released.

I remember it being reported at the time that the killers had sexually assaulted/tortured James Bulger. The Wikipedia page refers to that.
