An unfortunately ambiguous headline

This sentence appeared on the front page of the Telegraph today.  The story itself used the phrase "sexual abuse victims," eliminating the ambiguity as to whether the "abuse" in the headline was a verb or an adjective.

    Why would they pay so much extra when they can have their fun abusing victims as a regular part of their job?[Aren't headlines fun?]
