Description

A main character is accused of raping a young woman. However, it is strongly implied that the accusation is false. A character has sex with an older mentor figure when he is underage. His consent is ambiguous and the relationship is only referred to through dialogue. A man lusts after his best friend's wife and some of his behavior towards her could be interpreted as sexually threatening. A teenage girl tries to coerce an adult man into having sex with her, but they are interrupted.
