Season 3 - Impeachment This season is about the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal so sexual misconduct is a central theme. S3E1: a woman explains how Bill Clinton sexually harassed her by inviting her to his hotel room, kissing her and asking her to perform oral sex on him. She is visibly distressed while explaining it, and has to do a press conference with male journalists asking details on the scene despite her clearly stating that she would not comment on it (she again appears very distressed). Later, another woman explains that the same man assaulted her (forcingly kissing her). Throughout the episode, it is hinted several times that he is a sexual predator. S3E2: the harassment mentioned in S3E1 is discussed again in this episode, and the victim is shown being instrumentalized about it for political purposes. The relation between Clinton and Lewinsky (featuring a power imbalance) is depicted: the female protagonist is also shown being instrumentalized by another character, who encourages her to pursue this relation. S3E3: the female protagonist dismisses the sexual harassment allegations made by a woman against Bill Clinton (relating to the events in S3E1) several times throughout the episode. S3E4: the nature of the relationship between Clinton and Lewinsky is discussed (the female protagonist denies that it is sexual harassment or power abuse). A man touches a woman's butt as a 'goodbye' without her consent (around 29 minutes in).

S3E7: in the opening scene, a woman who was sexually harrassed by Bill Clinton is in a room where he denies having ever meeting her. She is visibly distressed and leaves the room.

A former high school teacher of Lewinsky, who had an affair with her when she was a teenager publicly slut-shames her. S3E9: in the final scene, someone explains that a woman testified that Clinton raped her. Because she initially said that he did not, this claim is brushed aside and disqualified by all the characters.

S3E10: during an interview, a woman described how Clinton raped her. A woman who has sexually assaulted by Clinton and instrumentalized politically, is forced to do erotic/nude photos for money: she is shown being visibly distressed by this situation.

The Americans (TV Show)
During a flashback in the pilot episode, a woman is pinned down and raped. More generally, nearly every episode has sexual activity that lacks enthusiastic, fully informed consent. In many cases, it can be likened to reluctant sex work for the spies. The people they seduce do not know they are consenting to sex with a Russian agent and are unaware of the spies' underlying reasons for pursuing sex with them. The male and female lead were assigned to play the role of a married couple by the USSR. They were told to have sex and produce children. Early in their time together, they were not at all in love and only had sex because the job demanded it. During the series, their degree of romantic attachment to each other waxes and wanes. As spies, the main characters frequently seduce and have sex with others to gain access. This happens very frequently. The level of deception involved in these sex acts varies. Many sex-spying acts involve seducing a stranger for a one-night stand with few implicit or explicit promises to be broken. However, in a very long-running storyline, the male lead convinces a woman that he is in love with her and marries her, while already married to another woman. The purpose of this is to use her for information and access. She is tricked into betraying her country, losing her job, as well as risking her life and freedom. Sex is the weapon used to cause these harms, rather than being a harm in and of itself. The male lead meets with a young, attractive female informant. She is "assigned" to gather information from a foreign dignitary who chokes her to death during sex. To avoid law enforcement, she is cut unto pieces and carried out in suitcases. There is a threat to out a gay servicemember. To gain access to a computer system, the female lead tricks a married man into believing that he had sex with her and impregnated her. To maintain an information source, the male lead is directed to seduce a 15-year-old girl and maintain a sexual relationship with her. He begins to seduce her, but refuses to have sex with her, though he does maintain a boyfriend-like relationship with her. The spies often do not like having sex with strangers for access. This is their job and they are often resentful. They appear distressed at times. They also get jealous of each other. The male lead attends emotional encounter seminars which involve participants loudly expressing their feelings or sharing very personal information, including sexual fantasies. Some fantasies expressed are violent and/or non-consensual. The female lead is assigned to seduce a sexual sadist who beats her with a belt. The male lead is angry and wants to punish the sadist. The male and female leads role-play consensual sexual sadism with one another. The female lead lies that she was raped by a military servicemember to a low-level navy sailor to manipulate him. The spies frequently use sex as a source of blackmail material or in order to get blackmail material. The spies convince a young (but presumably adult) collaborator to drug and have sex with an aide to congress. There are flashback scenes to the spies learning how to seduce people as part of their spy training. We see the male lead initiating sex with (presumably) undesirable partners, including an elderly woman and a middle-aged man. He is clearly reluctant. In the final season, the spies' daughter (now an adult) has sex with a source to get information. The spies are extremely disturbed by this.

It is then strongly implied that she was forced to accept as she is shown vomiting in the toilet. The incident is vaguely discussed later in the episode and in the next one.

Throughout seasons 2 and 3, the rapist from S1E1 goes through a (fake) redemptive arc, and tries to make amends for his actions in order to get his job back. Sexual assault is thus implied or mentioned in several episodes. S2E1-3+7-8: the antagonist regularly visits the woman he raped and got pregnant, to connect with their son despite her clear disconfort and protest. S2E2: the rapist from S1E1 experiences an introspective moment making him realize that he 'violates women's bodies' because he cannot accept his own.

The rapist from S1E1 gains his job back, meaning the survivor (the main female character) has to work with him. A woman forces a man to speak by crushing his testicles with her knee.

S3E7: flashbacks show how one of the main male character was abused by his violent father when he was a child. The rapist from S1E1 pressures his wife to have a threesome with an octupus.

S4E1: a woman is non-consensually sent an explicit photo of an anus under the guise that it is something she has requested to see. S4E4: a man mentions that when he was a young teen, he was caught masturbating by an older man, and subsequently the older man gave him a related nickname in order to sexually humiliate the child. A man is forced to masturbate in front of a group of people, under threat of injury and/or death. He is taunted while he does this, and later grievously injured and then killed for his perceived "failure to perform". There is a brief mention of an unnamed young teen runaway being used by a company to incubate a baby. She did not survive the birth, and was likely coerced into the entire situation given her vulnerable status. S4E4: an inappropriate reltionship between an adult woman and a young boy is discussed (around 27 minutes in). S4E6: while pretending to be somebody else, a character has to partake in various BDSM activities to avoid blowing his cover. The scene is played humourously but the character is clearly distressed by the situation. Later, when the character has his cover blown, another character threatens to injure him and sexually assault him via his wounds: they are interrupted before this can happen, but we do see the character restrained and struggling while his attacker prepares to assault him. This particular scene is very vivid and distressing, played far more seriously than the previous scenes. S4E7-8: a man is tricked into having sex by a memory reading shapeshifter who pretends to be his fiance. The incident is treated in a humorous way, with the man's fiance scolding him for having sex with the imposter "20 times".

Over the course of the episode it becomes clear that the main character's father was not involved in the child's death and assault, but helped to cover up the murder of the man who was actually responsible. The main character stays convinced of his father's involvement until there is irrefutable evidence otherwise. Despite all of this, it is implied that the memory which distressed him during hypnotherapy was not a memory of abuse. S4E20: a person with dissociative identity disorder has a protector alter who rapes a man who reminds her of his father who abused his mother and then himself as a child (no images). S5E1: a man is physically assaulted (stabbed repeatedly) in a scene with sexual overtones (the assaulter mentions sex explicitly while stabbing him, after removing his own shirt). There is an implication that this ends with rape, but it is extremely ambiguous and never confirmed one way or another. S8E12: a main character's girlfriend is abducted by her stalker, a woman who is obsessed with the main character and jealous of the girlfriend. While attempting to save his girlfriend, the main character allows the stalker to kiss and grope him, but he has trouble pretending to be into it which angers the stalker. Similar occurrences of non-consensual kissing and/or groping happen with this specific main character many times throughout the series, and he is visibly upset by it, but none of his trauma is ever addressed. S8E18: the man from S2E12 has to confront the man who sexually abused him. He has to shake the hand of this man at one point. The details surrounding his sexual abuse are discussed, but there are no graphic descriptions of the act itself. Once again, the topic is handled relatively sensitively. Several episodes features serial rapists, who sometimes seeks to impregnate their victims. One of them kills herself because she is pregnant. Another episode involves a woman who was raped and becomes a serial killer (narrative of victim blaming). Seasons 11-15: a recurring female character is a serial killer obsessed with one of the main characters. In later seasons there are multiple episodes where she kisses and gropes him without his consent. At one point it is revealed he believes she had drugged and raped him years prior, which she denies, but the truth is never actually told to the audience (i.e., it ie unknown whether she actually raped him and was gaslighting him or if she was truthful in her denial and he was mistaken.) After she denies that she raped him, the main character is shown to be very angry and upset, although he never talks about it. In the same episode where she denies raping him, she manipulates him into taking her on a "date", forces him to dance with her intimately (not the first time she has done so), and later he kisses her consensually in an effort to manipulate her back.

The Crowded Room (TV Show)
S1E3: a main character is the victim of rape: this ties into a major plot line. A man tries to force a teenager to perform oral sex on him at gunpoint. The teen is saved, but the scene is very tense and comes close. S1E5: a male adult character touches a young boy inappropriately. This is interrupted by another male adult character (32:05-33:04). A male adult character takes a young boy into a barn and it is implied that he rapes him. This is a major plotline in the series (37:25-39:59).

The plot of the show hinges around the abduction and imprisonment of a teenager by her high school's assistant principal, and the aftermath of her rescue S1E2: the character's mother says that she was "violated" by her abductor S1E5: the character's therapist specifically describes what happened to her as grooming. S1E9: the entire episode explicitly details the abusive relationship between a teenager girl and her groomer before he became her captor.

The character has an in-universe piece of technology allowing them to have their memory wiped for the purpose of sex work, and it is abused for these situations. The victim later commits suicide after being rescued. The game itself is relatively dark, but in comparison to many other outcomes, the character's fate is considered by many to be gratuitous. Several quests reference human trafficking for sexual or masochistic purposes.
Dare Me (TV Show)
Worthy of note: Throughout the entire show, there is sexual tension between a high school cheerleader and her adult female coach.

The guy responds and says no one will know since they took the girls’ phones. A girl finds her friend passed out and intoxicated in the back of a car.

She repeatedly grabs at her neck this episode because her necklace is missing and she has strangulation marks. She messages her rapist and asks if he can look for her missing necklace.

While she was not at fault for having to work for the drug dealer, and the killer was in self defense, she uses sexual chemistry to make the guy believe she did not do it. S2E9: a drug dealer forces the main character to take her clothes off in front of him, ostensibly to prove that she is not wearing a recording device, though he does not make her male friend strip.

When it appears that the husband will not be able to go on with it, the leader of the three rapes the wife while the two other incapacitate the husband. The rest of the movie is about how the couple deals with this trauma, particularly when they discover, two years later, that the rapist lives not far from them. The rape is thus discussed throughout. At some point, the rapist enters the house of the wife when she is alone: he overpowers her and puts his hand on her mouth and threatens her, but does not go further.

Der Goldene Handschuh (Movie)
This movie is about a serial killer who murdered numerous women (mainly prostitutes), dismembered them and hid their body parts in his apartment: the protagonist is based on a real character. Women (drunk most of the times) are thus sexually assaulted, raped, beaten and killed throughout the film. The opening scene (during approximately 10 minutes) shows the protagonist disposing of the corpse of a woman he presumably raped. We see him undressing her and starting to cut off her head. The protagonist rapes women on-screen at approximately 22:00-24:00 and 31:00-32:00. About 41 minutes into the movie, a woman mentions how she was sexually assaulted by nuns when she was a child. At around 47:00, the protagonist agressively explains to a woman how he wants to sexually assault her. At 50:00, at his apartment, he asks two women to have sex with each other. When they refuse, he beats one of them, who manages to flee. He then brutally murders the other. At approximately 1:11:00, a drunk man unconsensually kisses the protagonist. Between 1:18:00 and 1:20:00, the protagonist attempts to rape his female colleague when they are alone at work. She manages to escape. A woman mentions that she was forced to be a prostitute when she was in a concentration camp (1:23:00). At approximately 1:25:00, the protagonist tries to have sex with a woman but fails to have an erection. The woman laughs at him so he beats her. He presumably rapes her off-screen (we can later see blood between her thighs). After that (1:27:00), she puts mustard on his penis while he is sleeping as a vengeance, so he strangles her and then smashes multiple bottles on her head to kill her (1:29:00-1:34:00). At his apartment, the protagonist fondles a woman who tells him that she does not want to have sex with him: he kills her with a pair of scissors (it is implied that he cuts her tongue off) (1:35:00-1:37:00). A man forces a male teenager to stand still in the toilet of a bar while he pees on him because the teenager greeted him while peeing (1:39:00-41:00). An adult man hits on a female teenager in a bar despite her clear disinterest and uncomfort (1:38:00-41:00). Throughout the movie, the protagonist fantasizes about that teenage girl: at approximatelx 1:42:00, he starts following her in the streets but is interrupted before he can reach her (1:44:00).

The brother of the victim then confronts the rapist and talks about his crimes before killing him. Throughout the film, two characters kidnap men and then coerce them at gunpoint into sexual acts before murdering them (rape is strongly implied). Pictures and scenes of these acts are frequently shown, and it implies sexual mutilation. Early in the movie, two men make sexual assault threats to a man about his wife: he later beats them up. Teenage boys attempt to rape a teenage girl before her brother intervenes. This is presented as taking place regularly: her brother then comes to pick her at school and beats her assailants up.

Devils' Line (TV Show)
Dexter (TV Show)
In season one, a male character is a rape survivor. S1E1: early in the episode a pastor is revealed to have raped and killed numerous young boys. Also early in the episode, the main character views a website which displays a violent rape on-screen. This clip is roughly 10 seconds long. This is not relevant to the overarching plot but, although brief, may be disturbing to some viewers. The character Rita is also a survivor of an abusive domestic relationship. S1E3: several main characters joke about a sex move that amounts to assault (riding a woman like a bronco while she is trying to buck the man off). It is presented as legitimate. One male character says that he murdered someone because they assaulted him: the protagonist lets him live because of it. S1E9: the ex husband of a main character threatens her and their children. To appease him, she baits him with sexual favors, only for him to try and violently rape her. She stops him, beating him with a baseball bat before retrieving her kids and escaping out the front door. S2E11: a character drugs herself in order to frame another character of rape to manipulate someone to be in a relationship with them (she frames him for sexual assault). Season 5: the main villains are a group of serial rapists (there are flashbacks in almost every episode). There is a description of a rape by their first victim and while the police is investigating, there is a board with pictures of the victims and frames of the videos. S5E3: a character is introduced as a survivor of rape. The impacts of this trauma are made clear in the way she reacts when faced with large groups of men or when she is touched. S5E9: the police finds DVDs that contain recordings of all the women the group raped, and they show parts of those images, as well as a lot of screaming by the victims, in almost every following episode of the season.

At the end of season 2 it is revealed that a teenage girl and her cousin were being sexually abused by their grandfather, and a flashback shows him threatening them, though the abuse is not shown. Across all mentions, the show handles issues respectfully and seriously, with a focus on how the survivors are affected by the trauma.

To Die For (Movie)
Much of the film revolves around an adult woman grooming a group of teenagers into murdering her husband. This involves being sexually inappropriate with them and beginning a sexual relationship with one of them.
Disco Pigs (Movie)
The sexual violence scene (28:00-32:00) is confusing in that it is implied and not talked about openly in the film. Both characters have an estranged attachment, with the victim not willing to part with the abuser, so the event remains undiscussed while their friendship continues as normal. The abuse is handled realistically where the victim suffers in silence and no retribution or resolution is ever found, which makes the movie all the more disturbing. There are no overt moments in the movie where the abuser is said/shown to be wrong in his treatment to his friend, leading the watcher to think his morality is up to speculation; this seems to be the most harmful thing about this movie.
Divines (Movie)
The Docks of New York (Movie)

Dublin Murders (TV Show)

Durarara!! (TV Show)
One of the main characters (16) is constantly sexually harrased by one of the teachers. The latter is a pedophile who also engaged in a relationship with another highschool student. The character is frequently cat-called or lusted by other characters due to her large breasts (altough this is most played for comedy). Two sisters are very fond of each other to the point where they seem to have a somewhat romantic relantionship. There is more than one scene of them kissing each other (this is also played mostly for laughs and to add quirkiness to the characters but can be unsettling to some viewers). S2E13: a character gropes one of the main characters, and while another character laughs at it, the harrasement goes further (she attempts to touch her crotch). The assaillant is stopped by another character. Again this scene is played mostly for laughs. S2E14: a 25 year old character is madly in love with his younger brother (16). Her incestuous obsession is further explored and the younger brother almost kisses her. S2E15: in a flashback, there is a conversation between a main character and a crime boss who talks about how he plans to prostitute a middle schooler and have sex with her to "taste her" first. He is killed before he can do anything. S2E20: there is a mild implication that one character sexually abused another character in high school, but this was left ambiguous S2E25: one character is imprisoned against his will in some kind of BDSM dungeon. His captor express her desires to bassically fullfill every depraved and violent sexual fantasy with him as a captive.

Two men go to a brothel, where we know from other scenes that the prostitutes are trafficking victims and likely drugged. One man is the other's superior in the mob and tells him to have sex with one of the women while he watches; he is reluctant but does so. Sex trafficking is talked about a few times: a 14 year old girl describes being trafficked in her diary. It is not graphic however she states that she was raped and became pregnant - this is a plot point that is referenced several times. The movie begins with the pregnant girl bleeding between her legs and then dying during childbirth.

El Nino Pez (Movie)
There are perhaps various ways to interpret what is shown and talked about in this film. A girl is being molested by her father which leads to her being pregnant around the age of 13. She then leaves her house and is taken in by a guy who she at least at the age of 20 is intimate with (unclear when this started). Around the same time, she starts working for a wealthy family and at the age of 20 she is seen having sex with the father of family (again unclear when this started). At 20 she is imprisoned and it is suggested that she and other prisoners are being sexually exploited by the police on a regular basis.

Season 3 features a storyline centred on a rape survivor in the first half, focusing on her recovery and the aftereffects of the trauma. The storyline culminates in her confronting her attacker in S3E12.

She was repeatedly sexually assaulted by an older man when she was a child/teenager. Their mother is aware of this, and in the present-day, even says that she trusts her daughter with him more than she would her daughter with the protagonist (around 45:33-46:00). On-screen, she tries to blackmail him for information and the topic of her past sexual assault is brought up. He essentially says that it wasn't rape and that he was the one being used. It is possible that he is still engaged in sexual abuse with underage girls. A friend of hers hears the conversation and confronts the man, who once again blames her and says it wasn't his fault. Conversations happen between approximately the 36:50-39:03 and 42:32-43:05 marks. S2E4: the protagonist says that she was raped, referencing past events that have already been discussed on the show.

Jonathan Creek (TV Show)
S1E4: this episode implies that a teenage girl may have had a relationship or violent encounter with a much older rock star, but it turns out that this has not happened. S2E12 (Christmas special): a female character is murdered in a particularly gruesome way that involves gynaecological injury. A male character openly talks about deceiving a younger woman in an attempt to get her to sleep with him, because he fetishises her virginity, and hints that he is planning to put something in her drink (ie, may rape her). None of the other characters take any issue with this and it is treated as normal conversation between men. S3E1: a male character visits two prostitutes. S3E4: a woman is groomed and sexually assaulted by her much older uncle for many years starting when she was a teenager. We see him beating her onscreen while she describes their romantic and sexual relationship. She then tricks a man with amnesia into believing that he is her husband and they have been in love for many years and they have a sexual and romantic relationship based on her taking advantage of his amnesia. S4E6: this episode revolves around footage of a teenage girl's face as she winces in pain and breathes heavily. For most of the episode, viewers are led to believe that this is on-screen footage of her being raped by her uncle. It later turns out not to be a video of sexual violence, but that she was stabbed. Whether or not she was ever sexually abused by her uncle remains unclear. S5(Christmas special): in a film within the episode, multiple women are strapped to a wooden table, where it is implied that they are tortured and raped, though this is not shown onscreen. In the same film within the episode, another woman is shown screaming on a bed struggling to escape from beneath a man who is clearly about to rape her (although both are fully clothed and the rape is not shown onscreen, writing onscreen specifies that she will be a victim of his "lechery"). All of these depictions are heavily sexualised and clearly intended to be "titillating." In the context of the episode, these women are actresses in a tasteless film, rather than genuine victims of rape and torture.

Early in the film, it is mentioned on two occasions that a female serial killer was raped by her father as a child. Throughout the film, the antagonist acts increasingly threatening towards one of the female characters. When they stop in a motel, he watches her getting dressed until she notices, and then sneaks into her room, pretending to help her with her luggage. Nothing further happens. The antagonist's girlfriend explains on two occasions that his boyfriend is abusive, stating among other things that he whips her "when [she is] bad". She then reveals that she feels safe with him because she was raped by three boys, who beat her and sent her to the hospital for four months when she was 13. During a bar scene, a man grabbs a waitress, who rebuffs him. The main male character, fascinated with serial killers, plays a real audio tape of a woman who was kidnapped by one: we hear her crying, begging for her life, screaming, and then presumably being killed. He listens to this despite his girlfriend being distressed by the behaviour of the antagonist (a serial killer himself). The maim male character's girlfriend then takes photographs of the other couple having sex without their knowledge. When the antagonist notices it, he gets aroused and ignores his girlfriend saying that he is hurting her. At a gas station, the antagonist violently grabs the main character's girlfriend when she discovers that he is indeed a killer. After that, the antagonist takes them all as hostages and ends up killing his own girlfriend and taking the other woman as his "new girlfriend". He brings her to a secluded place to rape her: he fondles her breasts and bottoms while she stays petrified. She then stabs him but he pins her down on a bed and handcuffs her before raping her off-screen. She is shown the morning after, traumatized.

La Noche Mas Larga (Movie)
This film is based on the true story of a serial rapist who sexually assaulted over 90 women between the 1980s and the 2000s. The rape scenes are numerous and all of them are extremely graphic (deliberately shot in a horror/gore-esque vein) and instances of oral rape are explicit and show the genitals of the perpetrator. The overall atmosphere of the film is opressive and the sound design is anxiety inducing. On top of all that, there are numerous instances of victim-blame. At the end of the film, they show (graphically) the very first attack of the rapist in the 1980s, and we later find out that the said victim is underage. Altough the crudeness of the film was intentional, in order to show the horrors of sexual violence and even though the graphic scenes were discussed by the director with actual victims (they agreed on the explicitness of the scenes), it was not without controversy. The target of this film is not victims of sexual abuse but people who need to reflect on it.

The entire movie is based on kidnapping and rape. Three women are kidnapped by a man who rapes them all at different times. The rape scenes are not gratuitous but also not handled very sensitively.

Characters talk about how they are handling it, one of which being a therapist who mentions that she feels like she should have better insight on this but is struggling and a mess. One of the characters is a lesbian whose mother disowned her for being a lesbian. Each of the characters respond differently to the situation, one handling it by dissociating, one by crying during, and the other by fighting. The kidnapper is portrayed as violent and cruel, beating the women if they fought back too much or make too much noise.

The woman has to talk herself into overlooking how the man's personality and interest bother her over and over. The man changes into an arguably better person because his father (God) knew best and gave him a woman to make that happen: he is thus conscious of everything and willingly decides to accept his father's gift of a sexual and romantic partner that has no say in being.

Orange is the New Black (TV Show)
Rape or sexual assault discussed/mentioned/implied: In S1E8 sexual violence is threatened by a guard, who makes multiple inappropriate sexual advances, including groping an inmate in an earlier episode. In S1E10, a flashback shows the teenage years of one character, during which she lived on the streets and stole to survive. It is hinted that she left home due to a problematic family life and she makes a reference to her 'rapist stepfather.' In S7E11, a foreign woman struggles to explain that she wants to get an abortion. Eventually, a flashback strongly implies that she was raped by smugglers before entering the US. Sexual harassment on-screen: in flashbacks (S2E4), it is revealed that one character stalked a man who she'd developed an obsession with at length. This resulted in the man moving several times, changing his phone number and email, and getting a restraining order against her. Her stalking escalated into threats and eventually actual violence, with the inmate threatening to strangle him and his girlfriend and leaving a homemade explosive under his car, leading to her arrest. She continues to refer to him as her 'fiance' throughout early seasons, until the reality of the situation is exposed when the man visits her in prison and threatens to kill her if she ever comes near him or his wife again (also in S2E4). S1E3: a male guard abuses his power when patting down an inmate and gropes her breasts on screen and another woman tells after that he also grabbed her butt during the search. In season 5, prison guards are taken prisoner by inmates during a riot and subjected to a series of humiliating ordeals, often being stripped naked and/or forced to perform, notably in S5E2 (where captive guards are paraded in front of an audience of inmates and subjected to intense humiliations, including public stripping and, in one case, a forced 'cavity search') and S5E4 (where guards are forced to take part in a 'talent show' for the amusement of inmates). In S6E1, two prisoners are handcuffed to poles and sprayed with cold water as punishment for fighting: two officers force them to kiss each other (33:55). S4E2: within a flashback, a young girl is forced to do a pat down in which the officer remarks and gropes her bottom. Attempted rape: a military woman is assaulted by one of her fellow soldiers while she is asleep. She eventually wakes up and manages to stop him when he has his hand in her pants (S7E2). Rape off-screen or strongly implied: in a flashback, it is revealed that one of the prison guards previously worked at a men's high-security facility and had a romantic relationship with one of the inmates, who was severely beaten and raped by other inmates when they found out he was gay (S5E10). The circumstances of this death were covered up. Rape on-screen: In S3E10 a woman is raped by a man who she used to have transactional sex with (in a flashback). In the same flashback, her mother is seen telling her that men would always want sex from her, and that she must grin and bear it. Years later, this woman is seen to regularly engage in sexually irresponsible behaviour, resulting in multiple abortions. In season 3, she develops a relationship with a male member of the prison staff, who, in S3E10, progresses to treating her in an aggressive and demeaning fashion and eventually rapes her. He does the same on multiple occasions after this event. She and her friend plan to rape him in revenge, but never actually do. The psychological implications of her rape, as well as her relationship with the prison officer, remain a theme of the show throughout the rest of seasons 3, 4 and 5. Later, she seems to forgive him, apparently willingly initiating romantic contact. One subplot involves a prison guard coercing prisoners into giving him sexual favours by trading them for drugs which he has smuggled into the prison. In S4E6 an inmate has sex with a female guard in exchange for heroin. Worthy of note: in season 1, an inmate strikes up a romantic and sexual relationship with a C.O. and both recognise that the relationship is forbidden by prison rules. The inmate eventually becomes pregnant and decides to keep the baby, but who the father is has to be kept a secret because the father could be imprisoned for rape, as prisoners are not, by law, considered able to give consent. The inmate, her mother and the father of the baby plan for the inmate to seduce another officer and accuse him of rape in order to provide an alibi. Prison officials want to avoid a scandal so the accused officer only receives a suspension.

Too Old to Die Young (TV Show)
S1E1: the episode opens with a policeman showing a nude picture a woman sent him to his colleague (other men look at it later on). He then proceeds to say that he will have to kill the woman, who is his mistress. The next scene shows the same man pulling over a woman: with his colleague standing next to him, he makes inappropriate comments and acts threatening to her (hinting that he will force her to give him sexual favours). She seems very distressed during the whoe scene (which is very long). He eventually forces her to pay to leave.

A long scene shows a woman in her underwear being watered by one of the snuff movies producers with a hose, who then fondles her, grabs her by the throat and strips her naked with a knife: she seems increasingly uncomfortable and tense. While the scene seems to suggest that she will get raped, it ends with the man painting her toe nails.

Before that, the father asked the protagonist to get dressed in front of him, and showed him a movie where two cops sexually assault and rape a woman (verbal assault is shown on-screen, rape implied off-screen).

Trainwreck: Woodstock '99 (TV Show)
This documentary explores how the Woodstock Festival of 1999 turned from a run-of-the-mill music festival into a riot, including (but not exclusively discussing) the multiple graphic accounts of rapes, molestations, and other assaults that took place during those horrific three days, particularly during the performances of heavier bands - especially Korn and Limp Bizkit - as well as the closing night of the event. S1E1: remarks are made about the sexual harassment of Sheryl Crow during her set; references to the Bill Clinton abuse scandals; on-screen depiction of American Pie's stripping scene; unconsensual groping captured by the pay-per-view crew; women being molested while body-surfing; at the end of the episode, foreshadowing for Day 2 includes a group of men tugging a body-surfing woman down into the crowd beyond camera view, presumably to be gang raped, and footage of a naked woman being resuscitated by a medic. S1E2: fully-naked men and women, almost all completely under the influence of drugs and several women being forcibly groped; an MTV commentator reveals that a concert-goer tried to assault her with a lit cigar. From the moment the 4:00pm ticker appears on-screen, things get more severe - women begin recounting how they were groped and surrounded by men demanding they strip for them or give them sex; a series of photographs show one body-surfer nearly had her clothes torn off by male attendees while still body-surfing; as soon as Limp Bizkit's set ends, chaos reigns - a woman can be seen being pulled down from body-surfing to be assaulted; a chilling female scream can be heard during the scene transition to the Rave Tent for Night 2; during Fatboy Slim's set, topless women can be seen getting groped against their will; Limp Bizkit's manager describes seeing men having sex with women who are too high/drunk to consent; a stage producer describes opening a van that was driven into the audience and seeing a man in his 30s putting his pants on and a 15-year-old girl passed out, pants down and bleeding from her genitals; another producer describes a line of women who couldn't consent being pressed against the hangar wall and raped. S1E3: the MTV commentator remarks how she saw a lot of the audience stark naked as well, with women still getting groped against their will; in the final minutes discussing the aftermath, one of the coordinators of the event recalls being called by a mother of a rape victim; news footage accounts that four women were assaulted, with contradicting claims from attendees saying there were many more, some right in front of the main stage during performances; a series of still images at the tail end of the documentary reveal that more women were groped, molested, and pulled down by crowds to be assaulted all throughout the weekend. The mini-series is ultimately a tense, sickening watch, especially for those familiar with toxic concert culture or the phenomenon of late-90's hyper-masculinity.

Under Suspicion (Movie)
This film is shot from the perspective of an accused paedophile/murderer who is being interrogated following the discovery of two 12-year-old girls, who have been raped and murdered. No sexual violence is shown on-screen but the film ends with the revelation that the main character met his now-wife when he was over 30 years of age and she was 11, marrying her shortly after her 18th birthday. Other disturbing events and themes run throughout the film; the main character is shown to procure underage sex workers and at one point is discovered alone in a room with his young niece, arousing suspicion. He admits that he is sexually attracted to teenage girls and defends this attraction at length. The film seems to imply that the root cause of this behaviour is the main character's broken marriage, which has starved him of sex and affection, as well as the scrutiny of his wife following his discovery with his niece. The film seems to emphasise his emotional distress as a result of being accused and interrogated and might be taken to imply that it is wrong to accuse a person of sexual misconduct unless there is damning evidence (or that no evidence short of being caught in the act of an indiscretion is satisfactory). The movie also contains some intense flashbacks to and graphic descriptions of childhood sexual abuse.

The antagonist breaks into the house and the woman attempts to get away, but is subjected to a non-consensual massage (he unbuttons her shirt before she interrupts him) and has to play along (kissing him and trading caresses) until she grabs a gun.
