Encouraging article, of course the $64,000 question is: how is Shawn developing sexually? Is he taking a normal interest in girls? It seems almost impossible to imagine him not having been turned into a pervert by all this.
I’m wondering if anyone else has floated the possibility that Shawn could have been an accomplice in Devlin’s later activities.

Not sure what “later activities” you mean. The kidnapping of Ben Ownby is the only later (after kidnapping Shawn) thing I know about.
We need to remember that Shawn was eleven when he was kidnapped, much younger and smaller than the person we see now. And the other things you wonder about are probably part of his therapy.
