All the first three seasons of Veronica Mars deal heavily with rape and sexual violence (the female protagonist is a survivor of rape) with victim-blaming. Incest is discussed but it never occurred, a student is impregnated by a teacher, and an adult man molested the children on his baseball team when they were young. During the course of season four, the titular character's friend reveals that she was raped, and this is brought up futher on in the episode. In another episode, the main character visits a convicted rapist in prison to source information from him.
