She non-graphically describes her past with this man as a 16-year-old runaway looking for protection, and mentions abuse (implied sexual abuse) that she did not want to happen to the two girls. Their rape is discussed around the 24:00 minute mark. S1E13: a character angrily discusses being sexually abused by her uncle as a child. S1E14: a teenage boy is mentioned having been sexually abused by a priest, causing him to committ suicide. S2E5: a character shows another a video on a laptop of a young girl sitting on a bed being told by her father they are going to “play a game.” The shot focuses on one character’s crying face as you hear the man tell the girl to take her clothes off and crying/yelling can be heard. S2E6: mentions of gang rape and a character who had been sexually abused by her father as a child. S2E14: A character reveals that she was raped long ago by another character.
