S1E12: no assault in this episode, but one character does discuss an emotionally abusive relationship he was in. S1E14: an alien has the power to put people in a trance in order to have sex with and kill them. The majority of these encounters are in club settings, and although most do not physically resist the aliens there is one instance where an alien attempts to rape one of the main characters by putting her in a trance - she is clearly resistant and says no - before another character stops him. S2E3: a character has a fear of being raped and kills someone she thinks is going to rape her. Rape is mentioned repeatedly throughout the episode.

S2E12: a woman describes being raped.

S6E7: a demon drugs a woman (his wife) and forces her legs apart while she is sleeping, then forcefully steals her baby, leading her to bleed and miscarry while she yells no repeatedly.
