13 Reasons Why (TV Show)

From this point onwards, the girl is subjected to harassment and bullying with a sexual overtone throughout the series.

S1E9-S1E13: following an on-screen rape in episode 9 the incident is discussed and analysed at length for the rest of the season. S2E13: a teenage boy is attacked and sexually assaulted; the scene is extremely graphic. In season 3, there is a storyline where a teenage girl has conflicts with two other sexual assault survivors. One of the other survivors is a teenage boy who has not told anyone about his assault but is a member of a school group for sexual assault survivors, as an "ally". The teenage girl disagrees with him on something and accuses him of talking over "the only actual sexual assault survivors in the room" and being a bad ally. She later learns the truth and apologizes to him but the initial conflict could be quite upsetting to watch. S3E12: a main teenage character describes both his childhood sexual abuse and more recent sexual assaults. The childhood sexual abuse is far more detailed than what he says about the assaults.

This show depicts sexual assault in a realistic way in order to show the struggles of women in the Old West. S1E1: a drunk man breaks into a young girl's room and falls into her bed.

The girl's father then shoots the man from the doorway. S1E2: a middle aged woman is distraught when several strange men cross their camp to let their horses drink from the river.

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.

Criminal Minds (TV Show)
The show is a crime procedural and, as a result, goes into detail regarding incidents of sexual violence (and pedophilia) on many occasions. One plotline involves a main character who must repeatedly confront a man who once molested him, along with many other pre-pubescent boys. S2E3: parents are sent a video of their daughter being raped in the first few minutes of the episode. S2E5: a serial rapist ist caught. However, the victims offer insight into the hardships faced by victims of assault and as a result, he may hit home. S2E12: one of the main characters is revealed to have been molested by his football coach, who was a father figure to him for a time, during his childhood. The man who hurt him has also hurt many other young boys. He has to confront this man later in the episode. This topic is handled relatively sensitively. S4E7: a main character believes his father raped and murdered his childhood friend when the main character was four years old and the friend was six. The main character goes to hypnotherapy to try to remember the time of the murder, and while there he becomes distressed by a memory of his father coming into his room and telling him that he loves him. He also remembers seeing his father burning clothes that had blood on them. The main character becomes convinced that his father did assault and kill his friend, and goes to confront him along with two other main characters. 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.

S1E9: the entire episode explicitly details the abusive relationship between a teenager girl and her groomer before he became her captor.

Dance in the Vampire Bund (TV Show)
Dance in the Vampire Bund contains many examples of sexual violence and appearances of or actual pedophilia. One of the main characters is often shown nude in a prepubescent body. It is not uncommon that she ends up nude in this form, often in bed, alongside her love interest, a young adult male. She maintains this prepubescent form to prevent her forced marriage to one of a group of older male vampire oligarchs. The trade-off for this is that she is subjected to invasive "virginity checks" by those oligarchs in full view of them, although the checks themselves occur off-screen. Many newly-created vampire thralls, mostly depicted as young men, are shown to assault, bite, grope/molest, and otherwise violate the bodies of mostly youthful/teenage-looking women. These incidents occur both on- and off-screen. One of these thralls is assaulted and 'turned' in the process. She is shown to be abused, starved of blood, and manipulated. One character has a pedophilic, pseudo-incestuous desire for 13 year-old boy who lives next door to her family, and who regards her as his older sister. It is shown that she approaches the sleeping boy in bed, kisses him on the mouth, and nearly bites his neck before restraining herself. In successive episodes, main characters use her obsession with him to eventually turn her allegiance, after which the young boy offers himself to her to be turned so they can spend an eternity together.

There are several scenes throughout the series where an alien character makes her human inlaws uncomfortable by pressuring them to participate in her species' practice of communal bathing.

In the final scene of the episode, a pimp is shown cutting one woman with a razor blade because she did not want to work that night (he also threatens to send her back to her hometown where he says her father would sexually abuse her again): another man (the protagonist) watches him do without intervening. S1E2: in the opening scene, a police officer touches a woman's butt without her consent as he is arresting her. Shortly after, a woman learns that copies of the porn movie she agreed to play in are sold, although it was said to her it was for a man's personal use. This is referred to throughout the episode.

A woman explains that she had to give sexual favours to a man for a professional opportunity: she says that she was surprised that he asked her permission first (to practice oral sex on her).

It acts as a reasoning for the bullying (the bully is closeted and in denial of his sexuality), and is therefore quite intense to watch. One season three plot arc involves the sexual tension and 'will-they-won't-they' uncertainty between an adult woman and the teenage biological father of her adopted daughter (the boy in question also attends the school that she works at, and is her biological daughter's ex-boyfriend).

S4E11: hypothetical sexual assault is mentioned in passing, in a joking tone (1:00-2:00 minute mark). S4E20: a teenage boy reveals that he was sexually abused by a teenage girl as a child. The reactions of some other teenage boys in the room is dismissive; they suggest that this should have been a pleasurable experience for him, and that he is lucky.

In the scene immediately following this, a teenage girl describes a similar experience she had as a child, and the social exclusion which followed as a result (until the 21:30-minute mark).

This is a long-running soap with many characters, so some stories are in the past and will be referenced infrequently in present episodes. Stories are normally sensitively, albeit imperfectly. As this is a pre-watershed program violence has to be off-screen but events are often played for emotional drama, and will be discussed frequently in a way that may cause some viewers distress. Crimes are generally recognized as such and several plotlines involve offenders being taken to court; while this is generally a positive point, it also could be distressing.

Season 2 contains the detailed discussion of rape from the perspective of survivors from episode 15 onwards.

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.

Humans (TV Show)
The topic of sexual assault is dealt with in the show, and sexual assault is consistently presented in a very negative light. However, there are scenes which some viewers may find disturbing. This happens in many episodes but it is usually clear when something of this nature might be about to happen. Child sexual abuse is only ever mentioned, but one of the characters is very affected by the fact that this happened to her. The show also features forced sex work. The lines regarding this are often blurred, as the show is about robots (who exactly resemble humans) which have gained consciousness and experience feelings in the same way that humans do. However, human people are unaware that the robots are conscious. This results in scenes which could be interpreted as rape, which are felt to be rape by the female robots targeted, but which the human men involved do not interpret as such.

I May Destroy You (TV Show)
The premise of this show is that the protagonist was raped while high on recreational drugs. Because she does not remember what happened due to her inebriated state and because of dissociating, the bulk of the show is her piecing together what happened and navigating the trauma that ensued. Near the end of S1E1 (from 28:55), she gets a flashback of her rape, but does not at first realize what it is. The flashback is repeated at various intervals throughout the show to illustrate that it is an intrusive thought. Early on in S1E2, a brief flashback of the rape is shown. Throughout the episode, the protagonist questions her male friend (who was present on the night that she blacked out) about what happened. He is very evasive and seems to be dishonest. She then visits his mistress, who claims that she does not remember what happened and mentions that she may have been spiked (17:00-21:08). When the main protagonist suggests that her lover may have been involved, she becomes angry and shouts in denial. The main protagonist leaves and calls a rideshare to the police station to report what she remembers of the previous night to the sexual assault specialists. The officers question her sympathetically and she undergoes a medical examination (22:08-27:48). In S1E3, the protagonist and her friend go to a club while they are both very high. The latter ends up having sex with two men who tricked her into believing that they did not know each other. When she realizes it, she appears troubled (24:27-27:25). In S1E4, the protagonist has a flashback of her rape while having sex with a colleague (19:00-20:07): she acts as though everything is fine. After that, the man removes the condom without her knowledge or consent (21:51-23:00). Meanwhile, after having consensual sex with a man, a male character is physically forced on the bed, restrained and thrusted against from behind, despite his protestations. He is shown visibly distressed afterwards (from 27:52). In S1E5, the protagonist learns that there are social media forums where people learn to take off condoms without their partner's consent in the middle of sex and make excuses for it if they are caught (3:41-4:50). Then we see flashbacks of this happening to her. She later asks a police officer if this act counts as rape, and the officer agrees that it does (24:57-28:55). Towards the end of the episode, the protagonist publicly accuses her colleague of having raped her, describing the tactic he used. Her previous partner finds out and victim blames her by saying that she should have watched her drink better to avoid being drugged and raped (18:57-21:32). Meanwhile, the protagonist's friend goes to the police station to report an his own assault. The police officer belittles him for not knowing his assailant's real name, asks if any penetration really happened, and then ultimately dismisses the case since the encounter started as consensual (26:19-27:07). In S1E6, there is a scene focusing on a support group for people who have been sexually assaulted. Participants describe experiences with sexual harassment and rape. The protagonist states that she wants to learn how not to be raped, implying that she internalized the victim blaming from her ex (04:36-07:55). Later, a flashback scene features two teens engaged in what starts as consensual sex. At some point, the boy takes a photo of the girl on his phone without her consent. When she catches him, she appears upset at first but then goes along with it when he says that he will pay her. When the boy is not looking, the girl destroys his phone (12:11-17:24). Later on, she cuts herself with a knife, and when a teacher notices her bleeding and appearing distraught, she says that her partner raped her at knifepoint. Other students find out that this is not true, and they tell the headmaster before the boy can be arrested (17:42-26:34). Later on, her stepfather references how her father supposedly raped her and her mother. The girl says that she lied about the rape at the insistence of her mother, who wanted sole custody (27:17-29:11). Towards the beginning of S1E7, the protagonist reads a personal essay aloud, in which she wonders if she has the right to be affected by her experience with sexual assault when so many women have it worse (3:30-.5:00). The protagonist's best friend asks the male friend that the protagonist interrogated in S1E2 not to come to a party because his presence might trigger the protagonist. The male friend argues that the best friend encouraged him to leave the protagonist by herself, potentially facilitating the rape (9:52-12:53). Later on, the protagonist's gay friend says reminisces about how he lost his virginity as a child when two adult men invited him to have sex with them in their car. He does not seem to realize how alarming this sounds until he sees the distressed look on his friend's face (14:25-15:14). The protagonist's friend claims that Black people, apart from the protagonist, do not get raped (19:00-19:14). The protagonist locks her gay friend and another man in a room together, thinking that she is facilitating a hookup, but not knowing that her gay friend had been sexually assaulted and is still uncomfortable with sex as a result (22:35-27:47). There is discussion of rape in the context of colonization (23:00-25:00). Once freed from the room where he was locked with the man, he tells the protagonist's best friend about his bad experience reporting his sexual assault to the police (28:00-29:05). S1E8 opens with the rape and sexual assault support group (00:56-3:04). The gay friend decides that, because he was traumatized by his sexual assault, he will pursue women instead of men. He goes out on a date with a white woman who clearly fetishizes Black men. She initiates kissing and sex with him, despite his visible discomfort. While he is having sex with her, he keeps having flashbacks to his own sexual assault, in part because the same song is playing and because he is pinning her down in the way that he was pinned down (15:28-16:28, 16:55-17:58). The protagonist hears from the police that they are closing her case because they could not find the rapist. She appears to dissociate upon hearing this (5:25-10:22).
Ils Etaient Dix (TV Show)
This series contains sexual violence, which is an addition from the book it is adapted from. S1E1: an attempted rape scene on-screen is followed by a heavily implied off-screen rape (15:30-17:00). The victim is shown being dragged off-screen by her hair while screaming. The aftermath of the rape is also shown (35:30-38:00 + 46:00-48:00): the victim tells the rapist's mother what happened. The mother downplays it and asks the woman not to report her son, and then murders the victim by electrocution in order to silence her. The mother is later murdered in punishment for this event, but there is no indication or sign that the actual rapist ever faces any consequences. A man unsuccessfully hitting on a woman sarcastically says: "I'm not going to rape you, jeez." S1E2: an ex-policewoman has flashbacks to a rape case in which the rapist was described as a “lovely young man” and the victim as “an unstable junkie.” The victim is shown on-screen accusing him and trying to hit him. The policewoman threw the case out of court: the rapist later attacked another woman, and this time, murdered her. In a flashback, a young boy's trousers are pulled off him by bullies, to humiliate him in front of his crush. S1E3: a woman deep in panic and extremely upset grabs and starts kissing a man; they have sex, which is not shown on-screen at the time. However, a short clip shown later in the series makes it clear that the sex was filmed without their knowledge or consent. S1E4: a woman taunting another woman says “what’s up with you, were you raped as a kid or something, was it your daddy?” S1E5: an ageing male celebrity cheats on his wife with young fangirls.

Inside Man (TV) (TV Show)
S1E1: the opening scene of the first episode is one of sexual harrassment; a man on the tube stands uncomfortably close to a young woman and berates her and others who intervene. He is portrayed unsympathetically and faces law enforcement at the end of the scene. Later, a side character present only in this episode, who is a high-profile politician, is revealed to have gotten away with historical rapes. The rapes themselves are named as having happened, but never described in detail or shown onscreen. Worthy of note: the series plot revolves around the fact that child pornography is on a USB drive. None of the child abuse is ever shown onscreen, only people's horrified reactions when they look at the contents. The paedophile who has put the pornography onto the drive is treated somewhat sympathetically, being referred to repeatedly as a "troubled man" and framed as needing protection (rather than punishment) because of his mental health issues and suicidal ideation. He is never held responsible, but does eventually kill himself. For most of the series, a woman is held prisoner in a cellar by a man. There is no sexual motivation for this and she is never sexually assaulted.

Jessica Jones (TV Show)
Rape, sexual assault and abusive relationship dynamics are central to the plot of season 1. The antagonist has the ability to control minds and employs this ability to coerce numerous women into abusive sexual relationships. One of these relationships results in an aborted pregnancy. The effects of this are shown through the protagonist, whose mind was controlled by the antagonist for eight months. Her character suffers from depression, PTSD and alcoholism as a result of this sexual and psychological abuse. In the season finale, the antagonist threatens to repeatedly rape the closest friend of the antagonist. An incestuous relationship between a brother and sister is hinted at but never made explicitly clear. In season 2, the protagonist continues to deal with PTSD, depression and alcoholism resulting from past events when she was mind-controlled and forced to enter into a sexual relationship with a man, who is now out of the picture. The fact that she was raped is mentioned several times, and is generally handled sensitively. S2E2: the protagonist's sister is a survivor of sexual assault. 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. The protagonist and her sister once again confront the man who raped her sister when she was a child. The topic of this past sexual assault is brought up. S2E6: two characters have sex while one is under the influence of an unknown drug. S2E7: there is a flashback in which the protagonist finds her sister about to engage in a sexual act with a man who gave her drugs, and puts a stop to it (the sister is high during this encounter). S2E11: the protagonist repeatedly experiences hallucinations featuring the man who repeatedly raped her in the past, including: one where he briefly touches her while she is naked in the shower and one where they both reference the fact that he raped her (but the rapist makes it sound like they had consenting sex). S3E2: a guy drugs a woman he is on a date with, with the intent of raping her (23:00-26:18). She tries to resist, but she is unable to. Fortunately, a vigilante shows up and knocks the aggressor out. The vigilante then talks to the victim, who is not in her right mind and is scared, mentioning that the aggressor has done this before but got off on a technicality. The vigilante calls the cops and and the aggressor is arrested. S3E4: a pedophile has a room where he makes child pornography. The main protagonist locks him in that same room and calls the cops (11:35-12:30). He is later locked up.

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.

KaDeWe (TV Show)
Kaiba (TV Show)
This series takes place in a setting where people can transfer their consciousness between two different bodies using a memory chip, even if the former body dies, and there is an illicit but popular trade involving the theft and altering of memories. People selling their bodies for money while keeping their memories intact is a common recurrence throughout the show, and draws parallels between sex work for survival and objectification. S1E1: the protagonist, an adolescent boy, must transfer his body to a decoy body to evade detection, while a woman tasked with protecting him holds onto his original body. S1E2: the woman is revealed to have made a copy of her memory chip, and uses the protagonist's original body to have sex with herself. A minor antagonist illegally travels with women as stowaways on spaceships. It is revealed that he runs a human trafficking scheme, manipulating women into believing he is a loving partner so he can harvest their memory chips and bodies. S13: an adolescent girl sells her body to a rich purchaser in hopes of supporting her family. She plans to have her memory chip sent back home, but her memory chip is destroyed with her body intact. Two workers who are transporting her body to the purchaser briefly discuss why someone would want to own the body of an adolescent girl, and conclude that it is a rich man with pedophilic fantasies. Later, the protagonist (an adolescent boy) has his memory chip transferred to the girl's body out of necessity. An adult police officer falls in love with the girl (not knowing the boy is in her body), and the boy is not comfortable with any of the officer's advances, but agrees to stick with him so he can safely travel to other places. This dynamic is a prominent part of the show for most of the series, with the officer often fantasizing about romantic and sometimes sexual scenarios. It is mostly played for humor, but the officer is later reprimanded for his abuse of power, and his final moments with the girl's body are shown in a sympathetic light. S1E6: the protagonist meets the deuteragonist, who is a girl stuck in the body of a male robot with bombs for hands. The deuteragonist has to ask for help urinating due to not having hands; both parties are uncomfortable with this, but agree to it out of necessity. Later, the deuteragonist tries to kiss the protagonist in his sleep, but she stops herself, as she wonders if she is feeling the emotions of the body and not herself.

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. In summary, God trafficks a human being to his son, setting her up in a life where her personality will become exactly what he wants and accept being made for a man as a gift: this is framed as a good thing in the story's narrative.

A gay man falls down while his two best friends (male and female) put him to bed: he immediately passes out. The other two characters begin to have sex, and eventually wake him up to include him.

None of the characters involved ever acknowledge that he was raped; he is blamed by other characters for the event.

There are references to a professor having had multiple affairs with adult students.

In the motel, he tries to convince her to have sex but becomes frustrated and pushes her onto the bed. She gets up to leave, but he says that if she did not want to have sex, she should have said so, so that he would not waste so much money. In addition, he asks her why she is "playing hard to get" when she is so ugly. After she hits him, he forces her onto the bed again, she kicks his groin, and they fight.

S1E4: a prostitute forces herself on the protagonist and forcibly kisses him, then continues to get physically affectionate with him even when he protests. She only stops when the deuteragonist steps in and tells her to get off of him, at which point she demands payment for the kiss she gave to the protagonist; in turn, the deuteragonist forces a kiss on her. Later in the same episode, the pimp offers a prostitution job to the deuteragonist (who is also a minor), but the protagonist shuts down the offer. S1E9: a teenager goes undercover as a prostitute to get information from an older man. After he fondles them and licks them, they retaliate by punching him and other characters involved in the operation further restrain the man. Also worthy of note is that the man misgenders the teenager and aggressively questions their gender, while the pimp (who is also going undercover for this job) simply comments that gender does no't matter if a prostitute is that young, implying he has had experience with handing out underage sex workers. The teenager is later shown visibly traumatized by the experience.

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.

Although not explicit, the scene is unambiguously not consensual. S3E1: a woman is groped by a man. Season 4: an ongoing sexual relationship between an adoptive mother and her son. This may not be technically considered incest, but a character has a relationship with the woman who both created him (as a clone), and then adopted him.
The Orville (TV Show)
Throughout season 1 a main character repeatedly makes sexual advances and hits on another main character even though she says no. Eventually, while under the influence of a substance, graphic sex is shown on scene with these two characters (S1E9). Other than the woman briefly saying "I don't want to see this guy" after, the show does not treat this like rape. Several other characters almost have or have sex while under the influence here too. The character who excretes the druglike substance does not reveal that people are under the influence until after the sex has taken place. S1E1: a main character is shown to be cheating on his spouse. It is later revealed that this sex was under the influence of a drug he excretes, so non consensual.

He later tells his siblings that he had sex. S11E6: a character recalls that she married an adult man when she was 15. In the same episode, a man wants to use a condom, and his female partner does not: she puts him inside her and does not let him come. The show then has an actually quite good discussion with the victim saying he got raped. His dad says "he's lucky he got to rawdog her", but his sister is very clear that it was rape because he had an established boundary that she crossed. The victim goes to report it to the police, and the officer assumes it is a female victim. S11E7: the main male character who was raped by his girlfriend forcing him to not use a condom discusses the ethics and efficacy of slipping a morning after pill into her water, so he can avoid paying child support if she gets pregnant. He then takes her the morning after pill and says she needs to take it because she raped him and he is not going to get pregnant: she says that she does not need it because she is on birth control. She adds that she did not rape him because she is allergic to latex. He then tries to ask her out. This felt very dismissive of the seriousness of the action that happened. Later, he says "is it weird that I'm in love with my rapist?' to his family members, and one of them says "yes", while another says "you weren't raped." In this episode, the same character is forced to dress up in a mascot costume to educate kids about child abuse. He is traumatized and yells at the kids about his rape. S11E8: one of the main characters defends a politician who is a pedophile. This is played for laughs.

S3E4: a woman is raped in a parking garage (17:30-19:34). The following scene shows her talking to detectives at the hospital. In the remainder of the episode, it is revealed that the cops messed up the case and that the rapist is allowed to walk free. The victim coincidentally sees that he is an employee at a restaurant nearby and fantasizes about the protagonist killing him. S3E6: this episode's plot is largely themed around sexual exploitation. Scenes involve a young stripper being made to perform a threesome she is clearly uncomfortable with by her abusive boyfriend, her employer physically assaulting her and making degrading sexual comments when she fails to show up for work (her boyfriend is unsympathetic and laughs at this). There are scenes where a bouncer at a strip club tells the strippers that they are required to perform sexual acts if they want entry to the VIP room, and a violent, fatal beating of a woman by her boyfriend which is not sexual in nature but is disturbing. S5E1: about 2/3 of the way through the episode, a man kisses a woman without her consent. S5E10: two men threaten to rape another man with an object if he does not give them information they seek.

Special Ops: Lioness (TV Show)

S1E2: a woman is out for a run and is kidnapped by a group of men in black hoods. They spray her with a powerful hose which removes her underwear and she is left in a cell with no bottoms on. It is later revealed that this was a part of her training. A female main character alludes having been assaulted at her former job as a sex worker in order to "break" her. This information is then used by interviewers who also are trying to break her by forcing her to relive her experiences. This is presented as being good training for her career as a marine. Her trainers purposely keep her immersed in this position in order to "train" her. It also seems like the female trainer is doing this because she herself has unprocessed trauma from losing an asset.

Stargate SG-1 (TV Show)
*Because some sites combine the first two episodes of the series into one, any episode in the first series will not always be numbered in the same way.* S1E1: a female character is stripped naked and implanted with a parasite in a manner that is strongly reminiscent of sexual assault. S1E4: a main character is repeatedly kissed, touched, and threatened with rape throughout the episode as she is held prisoner after being "purchased". Her team disregards all of her fears beforehand and the trauma is not dealt with after. S1E5: an attempted rape occurs on screen. It is unclear how far the attempt gets before it is thwarted. The victim's clothes are ripped off below her waist, and she screams throughout the scene. This is witnessed by several main characters, one of whom wants to help but is commanded not to. Another main character burshes the incident off as normal behavior for the person who comitted it, due to him being from a less-evolved species. This character also states that all copulation was probably forced when humans were less-evolved. S1E9: a main character is drugged and discovers upon regaining consciousness that the woman who drugged him had sex with him. This is played as a joke. S1E14 + S2E22 + S3E1: the rape of a main character is not acknowledged as being coercive despite the perpetrator clearly and repeatedly drugging him with what is alluded to be a aphrodisiac, which allows the perpetrator to completely control the actions of her victims. It is only ever brought up later in a joking manner except when the perpetrator is in a later episode and sexually harasses the previously assaulted character. In season 1, she is about to rape another main character but at the last moment instead violently cuts the character’s stomach open. S3E12: a character experiences the memories of another (deceased) character's attempts to escape from an alien prison. These memories are shown to be extremely painful and upsetting for the character to recall, and it is eventually revealed that they are memories of how the deceased character escaped from the prison by entering into a sexual relationship with a guard. The way these memories are recalled and presented is strongly reminiscent of rape, but it is not referred to as such within the show. Some concern is also vaguely expressed by the characters that the person who currently holds these memories will be sexually assaulted by the guard in question, but this does not happen. S9E19: a female lead is impregnated against her will with an evil entity via scientific means. The character is extremely distressed by the forced pregnancy, wished to terminate it and is unable to due to the primitive conditions she is trapped in, and reveals in a later episode in season 10 that she 'could have put a stop to this' and that she regretted not killing herself to end the pregnancy. She is also coerced into entering into a marriage against her will because she worries would be killed for being unmarried and pregnant in the preindustrial village she is trapped in. S10E14: it is revealed that the same evil entity, now rapidly grown to an adult, sexually assaults a male lead by forcing him to have sex with her, the male character is spared consciously experiencing this because another character possesses him so he will not have to experience it.

The premise of this show is that all of the men in a wagon party are killed, leaving the women and girls in the party to fend for themselves in the wilds of 19th century Alberta. Two young girls (13-15 years old) are trafficked as a result of being purchased by a man who intends to force them into sex work: they are saved from this fate by the female lead adopting them, but the man who bought/trafficked them continues to be a main character in the series. The same male antagonist tells the displaced women and girls that he will only offer them aid and shelter in exchange for them becoming sex workers in his brothel. The same male antagonist and his wife use the two previously mentioned child characters to force the female protagonist who adopted them into forced sex work: she escapes before actually being forced to do anything. Another character is forced into sex work against her will to support her children. A pregnant girl is later revealed to only be about 15 years old: she is only spared forced prostitution because she goes into labour. The girl then has her child taken from her against her will so that the brothel owner and his wife can pose him as their son. This same character, in a later episode, has a relationship with an intellectually disabled man in his 20s: this relationship is treated as a positive thing. Another female character is revealed to be 'married' to her adoptive father following her adoptive mother's death. The adoptive father's character is portrayed as having no interest in a sexual relationship with his adoptive child, however other characters try to push them to consummate their marriage and the female character is shown at one point to be willing to do so. A 15-year-old character gets her first period and several episodes later is put in an arranged engagement to a man in his 30s as a trade for the man investing in the town. It is later revealed that this man has been molesting his teenage niece for years and intended to keep both girls in a harem. A transgender male character is stripped in front of strangers and violently sexually assaulted and misgendered. The aggressor is shot in the head and mortally wounded; it is unclear whether the rape attempt is stopped in time or not.

Succession (TV Show)
The dismissal and cover-up of rape and sexual harassment by people in positions of power, including many of the main characters of the show, is a major theme throughout the series. As they do with many sensitive topics, the characters often discuss these issues in a joking and insensitive manner, but it is not presented as something the audience is supposed to agree with. A recurring plotline (introduced in season 1, but starts featuring heavily in the plot in season 2) involves several characters becoming aware of a decades-long scheme to bury rape and sexual assault cases brought against the company's cruise line division. These activities included blackmailing, bribing, and intimidating victims into not reporting their assault or dropping charges against the company. This situation is made public in season 2 and is frequently discussed as a problem the company is trying to "solve" (i.e., make it go away again). One character involved in the scandal – who dies offscreen without ever being physically introduced – is referred to with a nickname based on the word "molester;" it is also vaguely implied that he was a pedophile. S1E3: a father mistakes his daughter for his wife and puts her hand on his crotch She is very upset. S2E9: several characters are called to testify about their knowledge of the company's cover-up of the sexual assault cases. Towards the beginning of the episode, the characters are seen watching (and mocking) a news report which reveals additional disturbing details about the scandal, specifically the company's policy of labeling cases where the victim was a sex worker or worked in a foreign port as "no real person involved." Later, a female character is sent to persuade a woman not to testify about her assault; she does this by convincing the woman that speaking up is not worth the public scrutiny, as well as offering her money and promising that she will personally deal with those responsible for the assault from inside the company. She successfully coerces the woman into staying silent, and the people responsible ultimately face little retribution. In season 3, it is implied that a character is in a sexual relationship with his much younger assistant (he is 80 and she is likely in her 20s or 30s). A main character frequently jokes about child sexual abuse, the jokes often featuring himself as a victim. It is never stated explicitly, but a popular fan theory is that this character is in fact a survivor of child sexual assault/abuse.

However, shortly afterward, another character makes the same assumption, and this time the brothers do not correct it. Instead, they play into the misunderstanding: one brother calls the other “honey” and slaps him on the butt as he walks away. This moment is presented as comedic, but it contains incestuous implications, especially when viewed without later context. S1E9: a man attempts to assault a teenage girl. He is stopped before anything happens. S1E11: prostitutes are implied to be forced into the job or at least are not given as much choice as they should be.

S4E18: it is retroactively revealed that almost all events up to this point, including dialogue and behavior, were influenced by an in-universe prophet (later revealed to be God), who controlled the narrative of the brothers’ lives without their consent. This adds a layer of dubious consent to earlier character actions, including those with incestuous overtones, raising concerns about autonomy and manipulation. S5E11: a man is tied down while a female creature moves her finger over his head and licks it (her intention is to drink his brain). A female character kisses a main male character without asking for his consent: he is visibly uncomfortable and unwilling (20:50).

S6E5: a character describes a scene as rapey (08:40). A main character is hit on by a man in an alleyway. He turns him down and is then thrown and pushed against a dumpster and turned into a vampire (14:14-15:53). The interaction has sexual undertones and can easily be read as a metaphorical rape, especially because the vampire continues to make sexual comments toward him later in the episode that are framed as predatory. S6E6: a man who is being compelled to tell his darkest secrets implied to his friend that when his daughters was spending the night at his house with his own daughter, he raped her and knew he would not be caught.

Additionnally, a child is turned into a dog and has his temperature taken anally off-screen (14:14). Worthy of note: characters commonly make jokes alluding to rape or sexual assault throughout the series. The theme of supernatural possession frequently appears in several episodes. Many have interpreted this to be an allegory for rape, as characters are coerced into acts they did not consent to.

There are two on-screen scenes of attempted rape and it is clear that he is a serial rapist offscreen. He only appears in the first episodes of the show.

Yurikuma Arashi (TV Show)
The show revolves around an alien species, known as Ursa, who normally appear as bears but can take human forms. The Ursa regularly antagonize human girls and cannibalize them, which has overtly sexual undertones; said cannibalism is said to be a normal part of the Ursa's survival as well as a form of love, but consent from humans is often not taken into consideration. The relationship between the Ursa and humans in general appears to be an allegory for lesbian relationships and cultural homophobia, as humans befriending and loving the Ursa is seen as a societal taboo. There is a recurring scene of the protagonist falling into the Species Divide between the Ursa and humans, where major characters protest in an Ursa-run court to feast on humans.
