Description

There is an attempted rape scene between a child and a ghost which is described in fairly vivid detail but the character blacks out so it is unknown how far the rape scene actually goes. There is also a scene in which a character has been videotaped while she performs sexual acts, in this scene she is under the influence of a drug, though the rape itself is not described in detail. However, the after-effects on the character are, as well as the character being coerced before the rape occurs, it should be noted that the actual act is explain briefly but remains off-page. The main character was previously in a relationship with an adult while she was a teenager. The scenes are handled well for what they are, they serve a purpose and are portrayed with sensitivity.
