It would be irresponsible for me to hazard a guess as to what this man might face in his adult life.
However, in general, it is common for abused children to have difficulty with interpersonal relationships, sexuality, self-confidence, and/or trusting others as adults.
It really depends on the specific situation that led to the abuse, the abuser, how the child coped with the abuse as a child, and how he adapted to his history of abuse as an adult. There is even the possibility that he doesn't remember the abuse at all by selectively repressing the memories over time.
Probably, one of the best things for him to do is to open up about his abuse to a psychologist or other qualified professional who can help him reopen those old wounds and heal them in a healthy way. The process could be long and painful, but the end results may allow him to live a better quality of life if his childhood trauma is presently haunting him.
If you aren't speaking of yourself, but rather of a close friend or relative who you believe was abused, you may want to consider offering your support to him, while remaining sensitive to his privacy and the fact that child abuse is a highly traumatic experience.
Only he would know. That's quite a trauma, he should seek some professional help.

well it can really have bad effects as an adult
best way to never do wrong is get therapy or end up in jail
mostly deppression and many anger issues to fix this try seeing someone who might help. a friend or a trusted elder if nothing helps still, try seeing a professional therapist
Reactions can be varied, from inability to have a sucessful relationship with the opposite sex, difficulty at work, nightmares, unresolved anger, adjustment problems, alchohol abuse, drugs, petty crime, and other attention seeking behavior. If it is affecting their life, or they suspect it is, they need counseling. Frequently abused children grow up to be abusers.
It would effect different people in different ways depending on the circumstances of the abuse, who the abuser was, the family environment he grew up in, if he ever told anyone, etc.
I would be pretty sure that something like that *would* have some kind of effect as an adult, but it's an individual thing.
Something he might best discuss with a therapist or counselor.
Many problems can stem from abuse. Trust issues. Anger issues. Low self esteem. Unhappiness. Unable to stay in a relationship. You tend to control things around you, because if your in control no one can hurt you again. You may tend to keep things very orderly and if they are not you must fix it. Also you tend to get very frustrate at those that are "messing it up" and not fixing it the way it was. The list can go on. Seek help. Seek God. It's the only way out.
