A popular way to establish a character as having a motivation for their depression, angst, distrust of others, aversion to touch, and/or other anti-social tendencies is to have the revelation that they were raped at some point in their past. The overwhelming majority of characters given this treatment are female, but there are still cases of male characters, although even that is predominantly when they're young and done by other men. While it's perfectly possible to use this trope well, when done poorly the rape is only referenced when the victim wants sympathy — mostly from their sexy new true love. In other factors of their lives, it has little impact. However, in Real Life, the trauma of rape can haunt somebody for the rest of their lives and flashbacks — which can be brought on for as small a reason as being alone in a room with someone — can make trusting future partners incredibly difficult. It's professional therapy, not sex with your true love, that brings relief. Male-on-female rape is extremely common in bad Fan Fiction. What better justification could your Sympathetic Sue have for her boundless angst than having been raped in her past? If given almost no weight to the story, then it's been handled very badly. There is Truth in Television to this trope, considering that rape is an extremely traumatic event and can cause serious mental illnesses and psychological repercussions. It's also, sadly, far more common than many people know, with 1 in 6 women and 1 in 33 men admitting they had experienced attempted or completed rape in their lifetime. The fact that some writers use it to cheap effect for drama is not thought of highly. See also Child by Rape and Promiscuity After Rape. Super-Trope to Rape Leads to Insanity, which is when this trope also drives the victim into Sanity Slippage. Contrast Got Over Rape Instantly when the victim has no negative impact from the rape and immediately offers romantic or sexual interest. |

Banana Fish explains that Ash was raped by the respected soccer coach in his town at the age of 8. Of course, that was only the beginning, as he's then taken as a child prostitute by mafia don Dino Golzine. He's been raped by a lot of middle-aged men, including politicians and military personnel. One of Golzine's guards, Marvin (who is confirmed to be a pedophile), also had his way with Ash when he was about 10-years-old... and filmed it. Some of the other men are also stated to have photos of Ash that they use as wank material, although once Ash gets his hands on them they're promptly burned. | |

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Det. Olivia Benson believes that she is the product of her mother's rape, and it forms the core of her character. Briefly called into doubt in later episodes when Benson questions whether or not her mother (an alcoholic) might have fabricated this story to cover the shame of a drunken sex act, but it's subsequently confirmed that Benson's mother was telling the truth; it was just harder for Olivia to acknowledge when her father became more than just the faceless monster she always pictured. Also Rollins was raped by her superior before she came to the Special Victims Unit, which becomes an issue in one episode when she has to deal with a case where he committed a similar crime against another woman. Eventually, she gets him convicted of the later crime, which seems to help her. It's revealed in later seasons that Brian Cassidy was also molested as a child, which is hinted to be the real reason why he left the SVU (initially, it was portrayed as him being a Naïve Newcomer who couldn't handle the realities of sex crimes*the Meta reason was a contractual problem with the actor), because it was dredging up too many memories. This becomes an issue in a later episode when he has to testify against his abuser. |

Apparently in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam Reccoa was at some point, though we only learn this in the second to last episode. As well as Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn Marida, who views this as just another order. A cruel but unusual order. But an order she doesn't object to given the fact she was conditioned to be a tool. McGillis from Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans is a rare male example of this trope, having it as part of the giant Trauma Conga Line that is his life and cementing his bitter hatred of people who abuse their power and his desire to dethrone them. |

The Heralds of Valdemar series uses this on several occasions. Tarma from Vows and Honor is a classic example: beaten, raped, and left for dead by her clan's murderers. Her partner Kethry also suffered this fate, having been sold into "marriage" as a child and only managing to escape due to the kindness of a servant. Each deals with it in different ways: Tarma by becoming a Swordsworn of her Goddess (and thereby asexual); and Kethry by being forced to confront her rapist and defeat him. There are some Heralds from later novels that also have rape (often child rape) in their backstories — Talia became Chosen after fleeing from a child marriage that would have been tantamount to rape. | |

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, it's never explicitly said what happened to Dumbledore's sister Ariana as a kid after some Muggle boys found her doing magic, but it's pretty heavily implied to have been rape.

Subtly done with X-23. She was no older than fifteen in NYX, during which time she was a prostitute under a sadistic and violent pimp. As she was legally unable to provide consent to most, if not all of her Johns,note age of consent in New York City where she was living at the time is 17, while a teenager younger than 16 and older than 13 can legally have sex with someone no more than four years older than them and the fact that she was essentially forced into sexual slavery by her circumstances and Zebra Daddy's violent control over her (who it's implied also raped her), Laura was a victim of statutory (and quite possibly actual) rape. And regardless of her age, her childhood pretty much insured that she wasn't mentally able to give consent. | |

Tokyo Ghoul: Mutsuki is implied to have been raped in the past with the scars revealed on his chest when Torso strips him of his shirt and when he's Disguised in Drag he thinks about how predatory Male Gaze is disturbing, imagining the gazes to be included with repeating words like "a girl" and "rape". There's also the parallel between Big Madam and Juuzou in the scene where Mutsuki is soaking wet from his father trying to drown him and his father orders him to praise him. He does so to avoid further abuse and his father leers at him with a predatory gaze while saying "here's your reward". Nutcracker's flashback to her childhood, including a shot of three shadowy male figures with terrible smiles looking down on her while she thinks "I need money". She's a Ghoul that focuses on crushing and eating the testicles of men, and the word she uses for "pretty" can also be translated as "pure". The implications are disturbing, to say the least. |

14-year-old Rena Sendou in Get Backers was raped by both a teacher and her stepfather, although as soon as Himiko defeats her, it loses its seriousness, as Ban runs right up and rips the bodice of her dress to show Himiko her curse scar (and her naked breasts).note For bonus points, every male character with this same curse scar had it on their back. Only the underage female rape victim had to expose her naked breasts for the audience to see it. After her Heel–Face Turn, she goes straight to Good Is Dumb and Out of Focus, and it's never mentioned again. | |

Seregil, one of the main characters in Nightrunner, is a somewhat unusual example because neither does the character seem to be traumatized by what happened to him, nor does the narrative clearly condemn what would be considered child molestation in a modern setting. Over the course of the first 3 books, we are given the information that Seregil was "seduced" by a considerably older guy, but who was also "not man-grown" yet. Seregil considers this his first love and doesn't seem to have bad feelings about the sexual aspects of this "relationship", only that it turned out the guy was just trying to manipulate him into betraying his clan, which eventually led to Seregil killing a man in self-defense. Seregil hates the seducer and plans to kill him on sight if he ever meets him again, but that's for the betrayal and for his clan's honor - he's still physically attracted to him (or at least his memory of him) and he says "it didn't take much" to seduce him. But the thing is: Seregil was his species' equivalent of 12-14 years oldnote He was 22 in objective years. At one point, a character grown up in a human rural setting judges a 22-year-old girl of Seregil's species to be about 14 in human terms. And given that in a medieval setting, a rural 14-year-old girl would most likely not even have started menstruating or developing many secondary sexual characteristics yet (the average onset of puberty, at least for girls, for most of human history was about 16, due to stunting from malnutrition and childhood diseases), that estimate of "22 equals 14 in human years" probably should be read as "22 equals 12 in modern human years" — though it's not certain the author was aware of the much higher age of menarche in a pre-industrial society. at the time; Seregil himself calls himself a "still a child" back then regarding the unfairness of holding him criminally liable for the manslaughter; and book 4 clarifies that the guy who seduced him was "several decades older" than himnote So at least 52, which is almost Seregil's current age in the books, and he looks like he's in his early 20s, even though his birth culture still wouldn't consider him old enough to marry at 58. and therefore not just an older "teenager"; and then the seducer himself mentions that Seregil's family could have had him executed for the "seduction" alone, never mind the instigation to theft and violence. (Plus, at least at this later point in their story, the seducer is perfectly willing to molest Seregil while he's drugged and sleeping, and he sadistically beats him later on, which reads like the character is and likely always was a sociopath.) It's hard to say if the author really just didn't think the age difference was a problem and/or that Seregil was old enough to have a sexual relationship, if only it had been without ulterior motives — or if she meant for the reader to think that Seregil is still in deep denial about having been molested as a child. (Which would not be all that unrealistic in terms of characterization for a child abuse victim who was carefully groomed and not physically hurt.) On the one hand, for all his romanticizing of the memories, he does treat his own young lover (17 when they get together) very carefully and tries to keep him at arm's length for a long time precisely because he thinks as an older mentor he has way too much influence over the boy to ever start a romantic relationship with him in good conscience. But on the other hand, he also still has romantic dreams/memories about his seducer that are presented to the reader without comment, and he is still conflictedly attracted to the guy and overlooks the sexual assault he inflicts on him as an adult like it didn't happen. And the very few other characters who know about this backstory don't comment critically on the age difference, given that this is a setting where it's not unusual for humans to marry at only 15, and where a 16-year-old boy is perfectly acceptable as a customer in brothels. | |

Lord Pavel Young tried to ambush her in the showers at the academy, without accounting for the fact that Honor was a Heavyworlder in Earthlike gravity. Unfortunately, she reacted to the near-rape in stereotypical female fashion, giving Young time to report his injuries as sustained "falling down the stairs". The academy instructors didn't believe it, but Honor refused to press charges. | |

Two examples from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. While the series heavily employs Black Comedy Rape, it still matters to the characters, and gives explanation (if not an excuse) for their behavior: Charlie Kelly was sexually abused by his Creepy Uncle Jack. Jack is clearly a pedophile who everyone is made uncomfortable with, and while Charlie doesn't admit it, he's always anxious around his uncle. He also made a whole musical about the "Night Man", and how the little boy both loves him and hates him because "you come into my room and pin me down". Dennis Reynolds was raped by his librarian when he was 14. He's not exactly convincing when he says it was mutual, and it's heavily implied (outright confirmed in the PTSDee script) that him being a Serial Rapist who rages at women and enforces consent while never actually getting it is extremely dark revenge for what happened to him. |

She avenged herself by putting a female black widow spider in his bed, which fatally bit him. In Skyfall Bond deduces that Severine was a sex trade victim due to her tattoo on the wrist which she confirms. |

Dominic Deegan has two characters with a back story like this. It's debatable whether the love interest of the protagonist would count, since she consented beforehand, but was heavily pressured into it and was verbally abused immediately after. The character Melna, however, was raped by Stonewater in one of the most mind-boggling arcs in the entire series, in what was essentially a mix of Scarpia Ultimatum, Mate or Die, and Rape by Proxy that effectively victimized both of them. As for Luna, it's generally accepted that if one participant is under emotional duress and would not have consented if mentally sound, it is rape. |

Tammy was a candy striper at Ron's birth, was his teacher throughout his childhood, and had sex with him when he was fifteen. While it's not explicitly called out as statutory rape, the effect on Ron is nevertheless clear. | |

Implied in Nancy's case in Where Are the Children?. Her first husband was abusive towards her and while Nancy doesn't go into detail, she implies their sexual encounters were messed up (with hints Carl forced her to roleplay as a little girl, among other disturbing things) and were something she endured, at best. Nancy recalls that one of the few times she tried to assert herself and pushed Carl away when he did something she didn't like, he was furious with her; she just did whatever he wanted sexually to avoid setting him off even though it repulsed her, as she was frightened of what he'd do if she didn't. | |

The Sookie Stackhouse Mysteries: Sookie's Cousin Hadley is mentioned offhandedly at first. She ran away from home as a teenager, got into a life of drugs and prostitution, before finally getting mixed up in vampire politics and murdered for it. As Sookie begins investigating her long-lost cousin's life and death, she realizes that Hadley was also raped by the same great uncle. Unfortunately, Hadley's parents didn't believe her, leading her to run away from home. The backstory of Sophie-Anne Leclerc, the Vampire Queen of New Orleans, is that after a plague killed his entire town except for her and her older brother, the brother (who hated her for some reason) raped her and then sold her to strangers for food and money. The brother is then killed by a vampire, but the vampire still keeps her into forced prostitution until she's turned in a failed attempt to save the vampire's life from vampire hunters. In the show, her forced prostitution is mentioned but not the brother's rape. |

A male example with Don Draper of Mad Men, who lost his virginity when he was raped by a prostitute as a teenager, as revealed in the sixth season episode "The Crash." When his stepmother found out about it, she beat him with a wooden spoon and called him digusting, because she assumed that it was somehow his own fault. It is clearly indicated that the trauma he suffered from the whole experience played a large role in forming his unhealthy views on sex, women, and relationships. | |

AM uses this fact to his advantage in torturing her in the game, by decorating every environment with the color yellow as a reminder of the event as well as having the door to her cage constantly sliding open and shut. However, the player is given the chance to help her conquer her fear and give her the strength to fight back against her rapist. | |

In A Modest Destiny a character is bizarrely unhappy that she doesn't have a rape backstory. Instead it was attempted rape, and what happened instead mentally scarred her for life. Yes, this is a webcomic. | |

Legato Bluesummers from the Trigun manga was shown to have been raped by the mayor of the town he was living in, and he seems to have been being kept as a Sex Slave his whole life. Nobody even bothered to name him. He'd just been found out in his ongoing plan to kill the entire town with his mind control powers, and therefore the Hideous Mayor was apparently raping him to death this time when Knives saved him. Accidentally, but still. Knives saved him. It definitely didn't help his view that all humans (including himself) are disgusting and must be exterminated. It's not certain if this is also the case in the anime, where he's still nuts, but it's not clear if he was raped. | |

The eponymous character Tank Girl was raped by her father at some point in her past, as she jokes about it in one scene. This is likely one of the causes of her eccentric behavior and also the reason why she takes such a strong defense of her 11-year-old friend Sam who is herself almost raped in a whorehouse. | |

Attack on Titan reveals that this happened to Ymir Fritz, first person to use Titan powers. While nothing is overtly shown when Eren sees her memories, considering she's a teenage girl and a slave (the man who owns her is King Fritz, ruler of Eldia, who says he'll give her his seed as a reward for using her Titan powers to destroy Eldia's enemies and make the empire flourish), it's easy to put two and two together. Especially since, as a result, Ymir ends up with three daughters by the time she's an adult. This is probably one of the reasons why Eren decides to free her from an eternity trapped in Paths, rather than go along with Zeke's plan of euthanaising all Edlians (which would ultimately undermine what Ymir Fritz went through). | |

In Isekaid Shoggoth, Alyssa Gillespie's pre-transmigration character suffers a very traumatic near-rape experience and she was the one who got arrested, lectured for hours by the police for "excessive force" for daring to fight back. It turns up in a big way because when a con-man tries to muscle into taking over her pastry store, first with empty flattery, and then with an extremely lop-sided contract, she refuses only for him to call in a notorious orc Serial Rapist and goes full-tilt "Not If They Enjoyed It" Rationalization, stating that all "prissy upper-class ladies actually secretly with to be bedded by a studly orc." She's triggered, shreds the orc savage to pieces and then whips out her own Leonine Contract, get paid a bunch of money and leave the country into voluntary exile, or learn to sleep with one eye open, always on the run. He takes the first option and tries to welch on it with another of her enemies... oh, that was a mistake. | |

Toyed with in the origin of Meteorite/Valerie Barnhardt, a Thunderbolts supporting character. In her case, it was Attempted Rape. While she was serving in the United States Air Force, one of her commanding officers attempted to rape her. She fought back and accidentally crippled the man. The authorities of the Air Force believed his story and not her own, resulting in a dishonorable discharge for her. The only reason she acted as a government agent was that they promised to eventually expunge her record and give her a chance to return to the Air Force. | |

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged plays its two backstory rape instances for very Black Comedy, but never in a way that detracts from the horror and justified angst of said backstories. Episode 6 has Seras tell Pip that nothing happened when she grew up in Leeds, despite the flashback slideshow telling a very different story. Episode 7 shows us exactly what happened, and it is as horrifying as you guessed. Despite all the pedopriest jokes Alucard likes throwing around, he is very much the same Vlad Tepes Dracul that everyone knows and fears. Ten years of sexual assault would leave someone with a lot of pent-up aggression, something even God acknowledges. |

Kel is convinced to hire her as a maid when she realizes that Lalasa has been routinely harassed and even terrorized by the male servants in the palace, and being in the employ of a single noble would offer her protection that her uncle can't. Later, Kel asks outright why Lalasa is so cynical about men, and Lalasa says that a man "hurt" her and her parents took his side. (In fact, she says it was her brother before quickly amending it to "a man".) | |

The scientist, forced to choose between her husband and child, kills her husband, only for the Skull to toss her baby out a third-story window, then allow his men to gangrape her. She ended up going into bioterrorism, before being caught by the US government, brain-chipped to make her comply with orders, and put on Fury's new black ops team. | |

Gamora (seen in Warlock and the Infinity Watch, among others, but now best known for Guardians of the Galaxy) was raised and trained by death-worshipper Thanos of Titan after she was orphaned. When she runs away while they're on a trip, she's beaten and raped by a group of thugs, which provides the impetus for Thanos to rebuild her stronger and more powerful than she was before. Jim Starlin is a very good writer, but he has applied this trope to virtually all of the female characters he's written, including Gamora. Even decades after they have been established. One theory is he was going through his own Cerebus Syndrome. | |

Higurashi: When They Cry: Three boys attempted to rape Rena Ryuugu, who still went under the name Reina, at her old school. These are the same boys she beat with a bat when she was at a certain level of Hinamizawa Syndrome. In the manga, it's revealed that the Big Bad Miyoko Tanishi aka Miyo Takano was violently raped in the Orphanage of Fear that she was stashed in until her grandfather rescued her. |

Hurog: Garranon and his brother were raped when their country was invaded, which may be part of why Garranon is very protective of his younger brother even though they're both adults. Garranon also wants revenge, but is sensible enough not to take it immediately. It's also heavily implied that Oreg was raped by various Hurog lords during his slavery (a period lasting over a thousand years). Ward notes his beauty, apparent youth and the Restraining Bolt forcing him to obey orders would make him a very easy target. |

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Sapphire, a member of the Thieves' Guild, had her family murdered by a bandit gang, which then took her back to their camp to be gang-raped for two weeks. Then she managed to get her hands on a knife and slaughtered them. Astrid, the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, had a Creepy Uncle who made certain "unwanted advances" on her, resulting in him becoming her first kill. In the Dawnguard DLC, Serana and her mother are "Daughters of Coldharbour" and became vampires during a rite to the Daedric Prince Molag Bal. Molag Bal, known as the King of Rape, raped a girl to make the first vampire, and it's heavily implied that event is re-enacted during this rite. Neither of them likes to talk about the details. |

Unlike her comic counterpart, Jessica Jones in the Netflix' TV show Jessica Jones (2015) was raped by Kilgrave, who used his mind control powers to force Jessica into sex with him. Kilgrave's mind control is frequently likened to rape in the series, as it is very intrusive and takes away any and all control the victim has, even if he doesn't physically rape them too (something he does often to women). | |

Metal Gear: Otacon's social awkwardness in Metal Gear Solid was explained in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty as the result of being seduced by his Wicked Stepmother at around age 17, which depending on the U.S. state they resided in could be seen as statutory rape. Later his father committed suicide by drowning himself in the family's pool after he learned of it, and his step-sister nearly drowned from his Taking You with Me attempt and is still terrified by water due to that. Subverted by the Beauty And Beast unit in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, despite the horrible tragedies afflicted upon them. None of them were supposedly raped by the soldiers in the past. However, what happened to them is pretty much Mind Rape in the worst way possible. Both Chico and Paz were raped in-between Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes, which justifies their drastically darker personalities in the later game and the Darker and Edgier tone. Made even worse in Ground Zeroes after Big Boss has his medic on the copter hurriedly pull a bomb out of Paz's stomach, only for Paz to attempt to jump out of the copter to save them saying there's a second bomb. Fridge Horror ensues when you realize the only two possible places her captors could have hidden that second bomb while the obvious fresh stitches on her stomach for the first bomb provided a distraction. |

Black Butler: Jim Macken aka Alois Trancy, from the anime's second season. It's confirmed in episode 8 that he was one of several young boys picked up as Sex Slaves to the elderly Earl. In addition, he had to pose as the Earl's son too, which adds an uncomfortable Parental Incest aspect to the whole thing even though they were not related. The manga shows (and the anime implies) Ciel Phantomhive suffered gang-rape at the hands of the cult who held him captive for a month. |

In Fifty Shades of Grey, Christian Grey was 15 when one of his mother's friends and a fully adult woman took him as her sexual submissive in an S&M relationship that lasted several years. He denies that this was rape, and the heroine is jealous instead of disgusted when she meets his rapist, but in any case, it was statutory rape. Considering his inability to differentiate between consensual sex and rape in the relationship with Ana, it is highly unlikely that this sexual abuse didn't affect him negatively. | |

In Vorkosigan Saga, this is part of the backstory for both Sergeant Bothari (who had been forced to work as a child prostitute; he reflects that as far as he can see, the only reason his mother went through with giving birth to him instead of aborting him was that she could make more money hiring him out to paedophile customers than hiring herself out to normal customers) and to Mark Vorkosigan (who, as a teenager, had been tortured and raped by his abusive guardian with a shock probe as a punishment for daring to go out on a date with a woman). Not surprisingly, this affects their sexual development: in Bothari's case, he is sexually aroused by violence (making it easy for Ges Vorrutyer, one of the villains of the first book, to manipulate him into raping prisoners), while Mark, in the first two books in which we meet him, is incapable of having sex at all unless injected with massive doses of aphrodisiac (in Mirror Dance, he comes close to raping a young girl, and is prevented from this not by moral scruples but by physical incapacity). Mark, with the help of psychiatric treatment, eventually recovers to the point where he's able to have a loving, consensual relationship. Bothari never fully overcomes his psychological problems or finds a partner, but, when he is lucid enough to think at all rationally, he can see that rape is wrong and prefers to have sex with (presumably consenting) adult prostitutes, particularly if they 'don't make a noise' - probably because noise could remind him of the sound of victims screaming in pain or fear. And he does manage to be responsible, if overprotective, to his Child by Rape. | |

The Rookie: Nyla tells Lucy an older police officer got her drunk one night and raped her. She normally always had her guard up because of the job, but the man was a fellow cop and someone she trusted. He convinced her to relax and have a few drinks at the bar one night after work. After letting her guard down, she ended up getting drunk with him. In her intoxicated and vulnerable state, he took advantage of her and raped her. She was traumatized by the betrayal, but shoved it in the back of her mind and figured she'd eventually deal with it. She never did. She was afraid of bringing it up and never told anyone, including her husband, as she just wanted to move on (the word "rape" was never used, but the context is very clear). Her learned lesson from the experience was to never let your guard down, even with someone you trust. When she was asked what happened to the officer who assaulted her, she said that he later "fell down a flight of stairs" several times. As a result of the "accident", he was forced to take early retirement on disability (it was pretty clear that Nyla beat him severely as her own personal revenge). | |

Marvel Universe: This seems to be the backstory of Hawkeye of the Young Avengers. She was assaulted and strongly hinted to have been sexually molested while walking home one night. She decided to deal with the trauma by taking up a bow and arrow and fencing, dressing up in purple, and beating up aliens and criminals. Her therapist approves. The Black Cat had rape retconned into her backstory in Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do, removing her freewheeling adventuress origin in favor of a rape victim who turned burglar as a displaced reaction to her attack. Lady Bullseye from Daredevil. She was kidnapped and repeatedly raped by the Yakuza, before being accidentally freed by Bullseye, which inspired her to become an assassin like him. Uncanny X-Men #434 lists this as the reason for the villainess' "Take Over the World" plan, on the last page. Kelsey Leigh, the second Captain Britain (later Lionheart) from The Avengers and Excalibur (Marvel Comics). She was sexually assaulted years earlier, which lead to her divorcing her husband (as he was unwilling or unable to help her) and taking sole custody of their two children. As revealed in New Mutants #1, Thai pirates attacked Karma's family on her way from Vietnam to the United States, raped her and her mother, and killed her father. Her mother died soon afterwards. Gamora (seen in Warlock and the Infinity Watch, among others, but now best known for Guardians of the Galaxy) was raised and trained by death-worshipper Thanos of Titan after she was orphaned. When she runs away while they're on a trip, she's beaten and raped by a group of thugs, which provides the impetus for Thanos to rebuild her stronger and more powerful than she was before. Jim Starlin is a very good writer, but he has applied this trope to virtually all of the female characters he's written, including Gamora. Even decades after they have been established. One theory is he was going through his own Cerebus Syndrome. A rare male example is Striker from Avengers Academy. He was molested by his manager as a child and accidentally killed the man after his powers manifested for the first time. In the present, he wonders if the incident is the reason why he's gay, but Julie Power assures him that's not true. Toyed with in the origin of Meteorite/Valerie Barnhardt, a Thunderbolts supporting character. In her case, it was Attempted Rape. While she was serving in the United States Air Force, one of her commanding officers attempted to rape her. She fought back and accidentally crippled the man. The authorities of the Air Force believed his story and not her own, resulting in a dishonorable discharge for her. The only reason she acted as a government agent was that they promised to eventually expunge her record and give her a chance to return to the Air Force. Rape was just one of the many cruelties suffered by young Klara Prast prior to her joining the Runaways. Subtly done with X-23. She was no older than fifteen in NYX, during which time she was a prostitute under a sadistic and violent pimp. As she was legally unable to provide consent to most, if not all of her Johns,note age of consent in New York City where she was living at the time is 17, while a teenager younger than 16 and older than 13 can legally have sex with someone no more than four years older than them and the fact that she was essentially forced into sexual slavery by her circumstances and Zebra Daddy's violent control over her (who it's implied also raped her), Laura was a victim of statutory (and quite possibly actual) rape. And regardless of her age, her childhood pretty much insured that she wasn't mentally able to give consent. Ultimate Comics Avengers pulled this one out as for the backstory of the second Wasp. Promising scientist, married to an activist, has a baby. Great life, right? Then the Red Skull shows up because he's working for the side the husband is protesting against. The scientist, forced to choose between her husband and child, kills her husband, only for the Skull to toss her baby out a third-story window, then allow his men to gangrape her. She ended up going into bioterrorism, before being caught by the US government, brain-chipped to make her comply with orders, and put on Fury's new black ops team. Inertia in Supreme Power was super strong and durable as a child, but her father thought this unnatural for a girl and forced her to never exhibit her powers. So when some local boys started harassing her and got a little too "friendly", she could only sit there and take it. This was the beginning of her falling out with her father and the start of her general hatred for most men. |

Mad Max: Fury Road and its tie-in materials all suggest—though never outright confirm—that Furiosa was originally used as one of Immortan Joe's "wives", only to be cast out for being infertile. Joe also had raped all of his current wives except for Cheedo (and even then, the only reason he hadn't successfully assaulted her was that The Dag stood up to him when he tried), and at least two of them are pregnant as a result. In fact, the whole plot of the movie is kicked off by the wives wanting to free themselves and their future children from Joe's tyranny. It's also possible that this is the case for the women used as cattle for mother's milk, as Joe has been a slaver-polygamist for a long time. Basically, if you're a relatively healthy (as in, not terminally ill or horribly mutated) woman living on the Fury Road, there's a solid chance you've been raped by Immortan Joe at some point. |

Deconstructed in Doctrine of Labyrinths. The two main characters have the usual tragic Trauma Conga Line background: Their mother was insane, they were orphaned as young children and the city's underworld swallowed them up. Felix became a child prostitute serving sadistic men and was intentionally hooked up on a mind-dulling drug for the purpose of reducing his resistance (and his pimp was severely abusive, too, up to and including killing some of Felix' fellow child prostitutes). Mildmay's fate as a member of a gang of child thieves looks better at first glance, but rather than being a mother figure, the adult female gang leader took him into her bed at least from puberty on. While neither dwells all that much on the rape aspects of their childhoods, both are seriously messed up psychologically as a result. This background has warped their personalities in ways that make them often unlikable to the audience,note Especially Felix, who is downright vicious whenever he's not outright insane, and who starts the plot feeling sort of driven to go abuse a teenage prostitute himself in a moment of stress and only stops himself at the very last minute. Mildmay is more likable, but suffers from extremely low self-esteem and often behaves like a total doormat, just taking Felix' frequent verbal abuse. and their issues are never really "fixed" throughout the 4 books, as they alternately try to change and fail or just completely give up on becoming more healthy in their personal relationships. | |

In A Brother's Price, this is part of the reason why Trini is reluctant to remarry after the death of her first husband, the rapist. Differs from other examples in that she lives in a society where male on female rape does not usually happen — her sisters don't refer to it as rape, but use the normal euphemism for sex while talking about it, and emphasize the physical violence (the rapist also beat her up) far more. | |

In the Stargate SG-1 fic "None So Blind", after Vala is nearly raped during a mission, she tries to wave the incident off as it wasn't the first time she endured such an experience. When Cam Mitchell (who is currently involved with Vala) asks her about this comment, Vala explains that she was a virgin when she was initially taken as a host by Qetesh, and one of the first things Qetesh did with her body was have sex with Ba'al. Hearing this, Mitchell speculates that Vala's openness about her own sexual preferences is an attempt to take back control of her own sexuality after such a blatant abuse of her own body. | |

Booty Royale: Never Go Down Without a Fight!: Goujima Sara's stepfather had a liking for underage girls and started raping her when she was ten. She paid him back by seducing the toughest delinquent in town in exchange for his gang beating the crap out of her dad, then slept her way through her high school before moving to Tokyo to become a porn star. Subverted with Sarashina Utako. She surprised a burglar as a teenager, who jumped on her... and then started sobbing into her chest and then fell asleep. He turned out to be an exploited migrant worker from China and her fragrance reminded him of home, and she convinced him to testify against his boss. This inspired her idea to use her very large bosom to "heal the world". |

Concerning a Drifter gives this to Satsuki, true to canon, however, the fic expands a bit more on that with the horror that one would think it'd entail. This also drives some of her conflict, as she notes that she "had time to get used to it", while Ryuuko was forced into prostitution, raped, and impregnated four times was left mentally ill and traumatized, along with that, after the latter was hospitalized, she realizes that, while she did move past it (in a way), she hadn't quite confronted her past. | |

In Mass Effect 2, Jack has apparently been repeatedly sexually abused. Unlike many characters, though, Jack doesn't apparently angst over it; it says something about how screwed up her life is when being sexually assaulted is one of her least traumatic memories. When talking about her escape from the Cerberus lab, Jack mentions that she hitched a ride on a transport freighter, and that "the crew used me, then sold me." It's spoken with the same casual tone one would associate with getting the mail or ordering coffee, which makes it all the more chilling. She seems more emotionally involved when she describes being caught by guards in the toilet and beaten and raped while she was in prison. Though the emotion in that is mostly restricted to her description of later killing her attackers. |

Used in the Zootopia fanfic A New Dawn. It is revealed late in the story that Dawn Bellwether was raped by a large tiger when she was 16, and the experience was so traumatic for her that it gave her a lifelong fear of predators. With this in mind, her plan in the original film (of injecting predators with the Night Howler serum) takes on a different meaning; she wanted the rest of the world to see what she saw every day. | |

Shows up in quite a few Mobile Suit Gundam Wing fanfics involving Trowa. (The fandom practically imploded on itself over whether or not this should be Fanon, at one point.) It seemed to have originated from a couple of interviews with the creators, one where some fangirl asked if the G-boys had any degree of sexual experience (and despite his reserved nature, Trowa was a "yes," though to what degree, when, or with whom was never explained), and another where the creators allegedly stated that he'd never "tried anything" in his relationships...which some fans took to mean he'd been sexually abused in the past. The usual suspects are the men from one of the mercenary groups he was in (usually the second one), and the {Jerkass heir to the Barton Foundation whose name he took in the OVA. | |

Benedetta: The reason Bartolomea ran away from her father and joined the convent was because he repeatedly raped her, making her his "wife" after her mother died of the plague. Her brothers also raped her at times. | |

In Prison Break Gretchen, when she was still going by the alias "Susan B. Anthony," rather creepily tells her hostage, L.J., all about her own abuse at the hands of her captors when she was a prisoner of war, all to explain why he shouldn't ever attempt to escape as she did. | |

Law & Order: Abbie Carmichael was raped by her boyfriend in law school. Detective Mike Logan may have been molested by a Catholic priest (he says only that the priest "put the moves on" him, leaving it unclear whether it was merely an attempt or he actually succeeded), alongside other kids. A friend also offered him money to be molested by a Catholic priest as a young boy. In the Law & Order: UK remake of the episode, Logan's Expy, Matt Devlin, isn't actually sure himself whether or not he was abused, though Devlin mentions that the priest in question was always eyeballing him, resulting in him feeling very uncomfortable even if he was not being abused outright. |

It turns out she's an alternate personality of Danny's, and part of how he deals with his emotions over his twin brother Adam being molested. Then it's revealed Adam was just another of his alters, and Danny is the one who'd suffered this. | |

Angel, the heroine of Redeeming Love, was raped at the age of eight and then forced into prostitution by her rapist. Aside from a brief bout with Stockholm Syndrome, the subject of this experience emerged a deeply cynical and lonely Broken Bird, and the premise of the novel is that The Power of Love (unconditional ''agape'' love, not only romantic love) can heal her deep psychological and emotional wounds. | |

Orange Is the New Black: Pennsutucky was raped at least once in her past by a man whom she earlier backed out of consensual sex with. We see that in McCullough's past as a Marine, one of her squadmates had sexually assaulted her. Once she reported this, all the rest of the squad believed him over her, causing her not to help after they come under fire. |

Descendants of Darkness has the reveal of Dr. Muraki having impulsively raped thirteen-year-old Hisoka, then cursed him so that he slowly and painfully died over the course of three years as major character development for both of them. Made particularly painful by Hisoka being an empath who can feel other people's emotions especially strongly through physical contact, to the extent that Tsuzuki grabbing him when he's upset causes Hisoka to scream, making it a sort of Mind Rape too. Extra points for 1) the heavy implication later on that Muraki's mother molested him and 2) the possibly-accidental revelation that twelve-year-old Muraki Kazutaka looked frighteningly identical to little Hisoka. So...yeah, he was working out his own backstory issues there, too. After the Queen Camelia arc, in which Hisoka was both competent and effective, (though the trauma of having to kill the girl he liked seems to have messed him up some more, based on how he freezes the next time he has to face his nemesis), he meditates on his fear of becoming Muraki if he isn't careful, of 'losing to the Muraki in him.' There seems to be some tenuous connection to the rape here, at least in many readers' minds. The fact that Muraki started as the Foil to Tsuzuki, but flexibly fills this role for Hisoka in a different way and even Tatsumi in another over the course of the story, never loses and frequently wins, makes him a very depressing villain. |

In The Ring, Sadako is raped by Nagao Jotaro, who finds out to his disgust that she has Androgen insensitivity syndrome, an intersex condition that causes the woman affected to be born with a vagina, but with XY chromosomes, no uterus, and internal testes where the ovaries would typically be. Ashamed and humiliated, she retaliates with a massive telepathic attack, but he overcomes her long enough to strangle her and toss her down the infamous well. Sadako's vengeance against the world therefore stems partially from that incident. | |

Shows up in many note Well, as many as the minuscule size of this fandom allows, anyway... Heat Guy J fanfics involving Clair, who was known to have been physically and emotionally abused by his father, so it's pretty much Fanon that sexual abuse happened, too. note It should be said that many children who are being physically abused are also being sexually abused, though this is not guaranteed. One that comes to mind is called In a Different Light: not only does it have Clair being sexually abused by his father, but mentions that Lorenzo actually paid some college boys to gang-rape Clair at school and made millions promising him as a Sex Slave to multiple men before being true to Canon, killed by Clair. | |

Chizuru "Chizu" Honda from Bokurano, particularly in the manga. She fell for her teacher who lured her and then had his friends gang-rape her. She ended up pregnant as a result. In the anime this is watered down into a consensual Teacher/Student Romance, though her teacher was just using her, however, her age (she's thirteen tops) makes it still count. | |

Donnie was raped by someone who wanted to reenact the sexual assault scene from The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, but the horror for Rebecca and Tacoma mostly comes from just how casual he is admitting that it happened. |

A Song of Ice and Fire: A complicated male example. The dwarf Tyrion Lannister met a woman named Tysha, with whom he fell in love and tried to hide from his family because she was not a noble. Then, his father reveals that she was a prostitute who Tyrion's brother had hired secretly for him. To "prove" how she was a hooker, he hires her to have sex with the entire family garrison and then forces Tyrion to go last. This experience naturally scars Tyrion his entire life, until he later learns the truth from a confession by his brother Jamie: Tysha was never a prostitute; she was exactly who she said she was. Tyrion's father, embarrassed that his son had married a commoner, lied, and the scene with the garrison was in fact a gang rape. Although it was just another addition to the huge Break the Cutie process that formed his childhood, Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish was raped twice by Lysa Tully. Both times he was unconscious, the first from having drunk too much after being rejected by the girl he loved, the second at the brink of death and hallucinating because of a feverish wound. This is also implied in the case of Aeron Greyjoy, a.k.a. Damphair. He has a recurring nightmare of his brother, Euron, sneaking into his bedroom at night (namely the sound of the hinges on his door) and doing something unmentionable to him. All but confirmed by Euron himself in a preview chapter for The Winds of Winter. |

Sisterhood Series: The first book, Weekend Warriors, reveals that three bikers raped Kathryn Lucas in front of her disabled husband, and they knew that her husband was disabled and helpless to stop them. Naturally, she was left badly scarred by this. The book has her and her new friends track down the three bikers responsible and give them the John Wayne Bobbit treatment in order for her to obtain closure in this matter. After that book, her attitude remains as combative, confrontational, explosive and fiery as ever, which suggests that her behaviour may simply be part of who she is and not just the result of her being raped... or perhaps that the scars were too deep to be healed by one act of vengeance. | |

The DCU: In some versions of Batman, Damian Wayne is the result of Talia al Ghul drugging and raping Bruce Wayne. However, DC is inconsistent, having also portrayed a consensual sexual relationship between them several times before. Robin: Tim Drake learned Stephanie Brown was almost-raped by a caretaker, making her vulnerable and constantly seeking for approval from men, which even caused her to get pregnant once. Tim Drake learned that Ariana fought off unwanted advances by a classmate. Ariana tried to have sex with Tim (even though they were too young for it) because she wanted to get rid of her unpleasant past with a new experience. Green Lantern: Bleez of the Red Lanterns was gang-raped by Sinestro Corps members, going with the theme that all Red Lanterns are victims. Exaggerated in Hardware (1993) with the character Deathwish, whose origin didn't just involve himself being raped but beforehand had his rapist tie him to a chair and violate and kill his wife and son while he was Forced to Watch. Starfire from Teen Titans was sold to slavery by her sister Komand'r (aka Blackfire) in her backstory, and it was confirmed in the original continuity that she was raped by Citadel members. In fact, she was nearly executed by Komand'r for killing one of her own abusers before they were kidnapped and experimented by the Psions. While she doesn't obsess over the events, certain things can remind her of the abuse. Wonder Woman: (Post-Crisis) The Amazons were made into sex slaves by Heracles. This, as well as many atrocities visited upon them by men, resulted in them isolating themselves from Man's World. |

The Ascendant Kingdoms Saga: In Ice Forged, because the guards at the Velant Penal Colony are usually people who were a hair away from being prisoners there themselves, it's common for female inmates to get raped repeatedly by the guards. What sets Kestel Falke apart is that the first two guards to force themselves on her both turned up dead later, due to her prowess as an assassin. There wasn't a third attempt. Notably this isn't used as a reason for Kestel's personality: in the time we know her she simply takes it in stride as something that happened to her a long time ago. | |

Sword of Truth: Cara and maybe all the Mord-Siths; Darken Rahl raped them often in the past. Along with them being taken from their families and horribly trained to become Mord-Sith, it's all most get as backstory. It mostly serves to make them sympathetic, along with Richard by comparison, since he would never do such a thing. | |

Germain from A Game of Universe has Attempted Rape in his backstory. His brother was prostituted out by their father, and then his brother tried to rape Germain in retribution for not attempting to stop his rape. Germain stopped the rape by hitting his brother over the head with a jar of fermenting fruit, accidentally killing him. Germain ran from home before this was discovered and got mixed up in the events that would lead to him becoming a mentally twisted assassin. | |

In the Hetalia: Axis Powers fanfic Family Ties this is only implied in the main story for England and Ireland as a reason for some of their behaviour and relationships with other people in their family. In Vincere and the related drabbles it is made clear that this is the case for both of the above- the first by Rome and the second by England, making Northern Ireland an unknowing child by rape and Brother–Sister Incest. | |

In Kemono Jihen, Akira's older brother, Yui, was raped by hundreds of women due to the fact that his species only bore one male every hundred years. The experience shattered him emotionally, and the only reason he was able to maintain his sanity is that of his love for his younger brother, Akira. | |

Otacon's social awkwardness in Metal Gear Solid was explained in Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty as the result of being seduced by his Wicked Stepmother at around age 17, which depending on the U.S. state they resided in could be seen as statutory rape. Later his father committed suicide by drowning himself in the family's pool after he learned of it, and his step-sister nearly drowned from his Taking You with Me attempt and is still terrified by water due to that. | |

In Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords, it's heavily implied that Darth Sion raped Kreia during her recounting of his and Nihilus' betrayal as she bitterly claims to have suffered "indignities", which is exactly the same word she uses to describe Atton's lustful thoughts. Indeed, her views of the male Exile's attraction towards Visas, disapproving it and calling it "mating" in a dismissive fashion, hint that she doesn't have exactly good memories about sex. What makes it even worse is that Nihilus just stood there emotionlessly watching the whole thing. | |

In "Teen Titans" fanfic Transition, this is how Jinx learned to control her powers, as a kid she already had her weird skin, hair and eye colors and things around her tended to break, so her father sent her to a Pedophile Priest to be "exorcised" with the implication that her dad knew exactly what kind of person the priest was and what he would do to her. Jinx ended up killing the priest by shorting out his pacemaker and running away. The story manages to make Raven cry due to how ordinary it is compared to her own issues with Trigon. | |

Reign of the Seven Spellblades: Ophelia Salvadori's history of being sexually abused as a child is very important to volume 3's story: she was turned into a de facto Breeding Slave for her mother's eugenics experiments by putting her in proximity to desired sperm donors and letting her succubus Perfume do the rest. She was thus forced to bear multiple pregnancies to term before she even turned 15. Despite escaping this life and finding a group of friends at Kimberly Magic Academy, Slut-Shaming over her past and her family's reputation led to her hitting the Despair Event Horizon and embracing the image of the succubus. | |

Wicked Lovely: Leslie's brother drugged her and handed her over to his friends to be raped as a way to pay for his drug addiction. Niall is also revealed to have been raped and abused by the dark court after declining Irial's offer of kingship. Made particularly painful when you see the full extent of his scars and realize that they came from the same event. And the fact that Irial, whom Niall was in a relationship with, not only allowed them to but ordered it...many of the fans consider the rape to be a Moral Event Horizon crossing. Oh, and Niall either had to give them himself or the mortals he had enchanted...Give the guy a break already! |

In Game of Thrones Implied to happen to Missandei when she was a slave: Gilly (Sam's Love Interest) and all of her sisters were raped by their father; her son is his. Not rape but the show portrays how Viserys Targaryen makes unwelcomed sexual advances on his sister Daenerys. In the books, it is much more explicit in the fact that he molested her. Given that her marriage to Drogo is not one she wants, she's arguably raped by him in the beginning. It later turns to love. |

The My-HiME fanfic Windows of the Soul. The story takes the darker interpretation of the Ambiguous Situation from the anime as fact, meaning the story opens with Natsuki as a rape survivor and Shizuru as her rapist, and both of them suffering PTSD because of it. The author touches on the Not Herself interpretation that many ShizNat shippers use to justify the relationship, but doesn't explicitly embrace it, as it would be too easy an excuse for Shizuru's actions, although the author doesn't explicitly deny it, either. | |

Ash: A Secret History: In the very first scene of the book, we learn that the titular protagonist Ash is mentally prepared to thrive in the harshest of Crapsack Worlds. Having grown from infancy with no parental supervision at all (the children in her mercenary camp have to suckle from dogs because even their mothers take no responsibility for them), Ash is raped by mercenaries as an 8-year-old, and kills them, and promises to kill whoever punishes her for that act of self-defense. She is whipped anyway, but decides that her scars are what make her beautiful. It's part of what makes her into someone who's callous and lacking in introspection. | |

Earth's Children: Oda, a Clan (Neanderthal) woman, was raped by a man of the Others (Cro-Magnon), resulting in the death of her baby when she accidentally dropped her. Due to the Clan's beliefs around sex, she doesn't even think of it as rape (Clan women are expected to have sex with any man who asks, with a few exceptions), not understanding why the man was so rough with her when she would've submitted willingly. The main source of her grief is the death of her daughter, though she subsequently got pregnant and had another daughter (unbeknownst to Oda, because of the aforementioned rape). Attaroa, an Arc Villain in The Plains of Passage, was molested by her stepfather as a girl and is strongly implied to have been repeatedly raped by her abusive mate in adulthood. It's a big part of the reason she despises all men. |

Given her treatment at the beginning of the OVA, as well as his inclination against ever taking "no" for an answer, one can assume that he raped her more than that throughout her life. | |

RWBY: Scars: Attempted rape plays a major role in Roman's backstory, but he wasn't the one who was being targeted. Roman tried to stop a fellow Beacon student from raping a Faunus woman, but Roman was the one who ended up expelled when the woman refused to back up his story. This left Roman jaded and cynical. While in jail, he was asked to do a crime and that started his life of crime. Roman's teenage daughter Neo was raped one day. In revenge, Roman kidnapped the perpetrator and allowed Neo to torture him to death. This is the first time Neo killed and the entire ordeal also fuels Roman's disdain towards humanity. More directly, while hiding from the victim's father, Roman and Neo are blackmailed by Cinder into working with her, thus explaining why they're involved in the plot at all. |

Subverted in Gunslinger Girl as the conditioning process that turns the girls into cyborgs wipes their memories. Two girls have backstories involving rape, but all memories of the incidents have been heavily repressed by the conditioning: Henrietta was raped and mutilated in a home invasion that killed her family. It turns out she was only repressing the memories, with fatal consequences for her handler Jose and herself after she attacks a man who reminds her of her rapist. Triela's backstory is that she was in a child sex trafficking ring and nearly died due to being in a Snuff Film. |

Starfire from Teen Titans was sold to slavery by her sister Komand'r (aka Blackfire) in her backstory, and it was confirmed in the original continuity that she was raped by Citadel members. In fact, she was nearly executed by Komand'r for killing one of her own abusers before they were kidnapped and experimented by the Psions. While she doesn't obsess over the events, certain things can remind her of the abuse. | |

In a first season episode of Beverly Hills, 90210, Kelly reveals that the way she really lost her virginity was not to her ex-boyfriend Steve, but to Ross Weber, an older boy she had a crush on as a freshman, who took her into the woods and had sex with her. The word "rape" is never used and so the scene is open to interpretation, but a good number of the fans (and Jennie Garth herself) regard the story as a case of date rape. In the seventh season, the show's vixen troublemaker Valerie, is revealed to have been raped by her father since she was 11 until he killed himself when she was 19. It is also revealed that he killed himself because she and her boyfriend had threatened to tell the cops on him if he didn't get help. In the next season, the story changes in that Valerie killed her father in response to him raping her. | |

In the second season of Travelers, it turns out that "Trevor's" host was being sexually abused by his football coach, as were other boys on the team. The Traveler never found out about that up to that point because, historically, the victim died from unrelated events before the abuse could ever come to light, and because "Trevor" immediately quit the football team after arriving so as to not risk another head injury. It's not explicitly stated in the show, but this backstory would certainly go some way to explain why the host was acting out so much, taking pills he hadn't been prescribed, shoplifting, and taking part in a macho, high-risk sport like underground cage fighting. It's quite possible he wanted to die. | |

Long enough for her to develop Stockholm Syndrome which comes back to haunt her when the rapist decides in the second book that Jessica is to become his queen. Though the titular Dog and Spider have become inseparable lovers, The Power of Love does not heal these wounds. It does, however, prompt her to seek therapy. | |

Then even later it turns out she was raped after all. There's Cassidy Casablancas, who both had Rape As Backstory and caused it. A prominent story arc in season 3 revolves around a serial rapist on the loose at Veronica's college. Veronica herself was drugged and nearly raped twice, but her attacker quickly ran away both times to avoid being caught. |

True Blood has several of these: Sookie was raped by her Uncle Bartlett when she was a little girl. When her grandmother found out about it, she drove him from the house and cut all contact with him. In Godric's backstory, it's revealed that he was turned by a Roman soldier, and was repeatedly raped and abused. When Godric turned 16 in vampire years, he turned on his maker and killed him. This got him in trouble with the vampire community at the time, and he was forced to go on the run for several years. Sam is revealed to have been raped by Maryann when he was 17 years old, which is why he reacts badly when she comes back into his life. Implied with Crystal. She was promised to her half-brother Felton when she was 4 years old, and he's been shown to physically abuse her. Regardless, she loses any sympathy when she chooses to rape Jason in season 4. The Big Bad of season 4, Antonia Gavilán de Logroño, is revealed to have been captured by vampires for practicing necromancy, was imprisoned in the catacombs of the Catholic Church, was raped and tortured repeatedly by them, later got burned at the stake, and then spent the next 400 years in purgatory being driven insane by her inability to move on. When she returns as a Vengeful Ghost in season 4, she is not happy. In season 5, it's revealed that Jason Stackhouse was raped by a female teacher when he was 13 years old. This is one of the few instances on TV when Double Standard Rape: Female on Male is NOT invoked. The show is very clear that just because Jason didn't recognize what happened to him as rape doesn't mean it was okay. It's also all but stated that what happened with his teacher caused Jason to develop a promiscuous lifestyle, and being led to believe his only worth as a person was in sex and nothing else. Implied with Pam. While we don't actually see her get raped onscreen, flashbacks to her past reveal she was a prostitute with a brothel where the men in her time were abusive towards the sex workers there. One man even follows Pam home one night with the intent of raping her before Eric saves her life. Salome (one of the Chancellors in the Authority) reveals she was given to her uncle for sexual favors when she was a little girl. This act demonized her in the Bible as a seductress of men when in reality she had no control over what happened to her. Given the way she tells the story to Bill, she sounds rightfully angry about it. |

In Highlander, the Kurgan and Connor meet in 1986 as the last two remaining immortals. Observing the Kurgan's Slashed Throat from his old battle with Ramirez, the Kurgan shoots back at Connor gloating that he killed Ramirez on his knees and "raped his woman before his blood was even cold". Seeing the resultant look of horror and disbelief giving way to cold rage from Connor, the Kurgan realizes that Heather was actually his woman and takes far too much pleasure in the fact that she never told Connor what really happened to her on that terrible night centuries before (he taunts Connor saying she secretly enjoyed it and yearned for him to come back; the likely reality is she dreaded Connor would go after the Kurgan and be killed). This gives Connor all the more personal reason for killing the Kurgan outside of the scope of the Game. In the novelization, this meeting ends with Connor actually thanking Kurgan for confirming his crime, which he always suspected but Heather refused to speak of. | |

Conan the Barbarian: Janissa, Conan's occasional enemy and ally, was raped by demons every night until she could fight them off as part of her training to become a master swordswoman in Dark Horse's Conan Comic Book. Needless to say, people wrote in pissed that the writers were lazy enough to resort to this and her every other appearance in the series inevitably led to the authors apologising, printing the letters of angry readers, and promoting rape help-lines. The writer was Kurt Busiek, and an editor of later issues of Conan, Rachel Edidin, wrote a blog post commenting on reader reactions (part of a series of posts for Sexual Assault Awareness Month: they are all worth reading). | |

Played with in My Sweet Audrina. In it, the main character Audrina's elder sister is gang-raped and murdered as a child. Though this happens before the main character's even born, Audrina's Ghost Memory of the attack and her parents' subsequent overprotectiveness causes her to fear men and be repulsed by sex to the point of negatively impacting her mental health well into adulthood. Later it's revealed that the rape happened to her and that her parents invented the story of the dead elder sister in order to distance their severely traumatized child from the assault. | |

In Goblin Slayer, Sword Maiden's backstory is singularly tragic. Despite being a Gold-Rank Adventurer who has taken on and slain demons in her day and the Archbishop of the Supreme God, she has a crippling fear of goblins as a result of what they did to her back when she was still a rookie, which is what drives her to seek Goblin Slayer's help. | |

Sergeant Alexandra "Alex" Brand in the Gears of War comics. She was taken to a "baby farm"(for repopulating Sera) and raped for the first time at the age of 12, and until the age of 18 was raped at regular intervals until her captors realized she couldn't get pregnant and sent her off to the army. | |

The Red Tent: It's mentioned that Laban groped Leah and Zilpah when they were young, but before things could escalate further (and before he could hurt Rachel and Bilhah), Leah told her mother Adah, who gave Laban quite a beating. He "made amends" by offering sacrifices, buying gold bangles for all the girls, and setting up a brand-new statue of The Goddess. For her part, Leah doesn't let it bother her or sully her views on men in general, but Zilpah Does Not Like Men at all, and this could be a major reason why. Also, the gold bangles that are among the trinkets used to buy Ruti back from slave-traders Laban has gambled her away to are implied to be Zilpah's from the aftermath of that incident, that she buried rather than chose to wear. Later, Laban's second wife Ruti (who is roughly the same age as his daughters) drinks an abortifacient herbal concoction, so that Laban won't have any more sons she feels he doesn't deserve the honor of or any daughters that he'd molest. When Ruti asks Rachel to help her abort, she threatens to kill the child anyway after it's born. The other women of the camp all support Ruti's choice, on the grounds that they don't care much for Laban or the way he treats her, either. |

Played with in Saiyuki with Sanzo's backstory. After leaving the temple he was raised after his master's death in pursuit of his killers, Sanzo is attacked while exhausted and starving to death by some bandits who attempt to rape him. The farthest the guy got was a hand on his ankle before he shot him (his first time killing anything). But it is implied to have not been the last time this occurred, and obviously ties in with his trust issues and dislike of being touched once he's grown. | |

Rhian of Creature Court left her house alone during a raucous sexual festival and vanished for several hours. When her housemates found her, she was obviously traumatised, hacking off her hair and burning it and cutting at her arms. She developed severe agoraphobia and a dislike of touch, and refused to allow men in the house. As it turns out, it's subversion - several men tried to rape Rhian, only for her latent powers to manifest and burn her attackers alive. Her trauma is due to horror at what she did rather than rape. | |

Don't Meddle with My Daughter!: The "MILF of Steel" epilogue story has villain Heavy Metal recount how he defeated Athena 20 years before the manga's main plotline began. Afterward, he took her to an unmarked island where he and the rest of her enemies took turns with her, before finally gang-raping her. Athena settles the score with him by the end of the story. A short story in the same issue reveals that Hannanote N.U.D.E's leader was also a rape victim 20 years ago. She has a nightmare about how badly N.U.D.E. was losing against Blowjob's forces during the time Athena had retired. One scene shows Hanna being raped after a failed skirmish, until Athena suddenly appeared and saved her. |

Foxxy Love in Drawn Together remembers been gang-raped by Phat Allen and his Junkyard Pals (a parody of Bill Cosby's Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids) as a preteen as shown in the episode "Toot Goes Bollywood", whilst looking for the reason behind her promiscuity, and the episode also criticizes judicial Victim-Blaming. However, it turns out that the memory of the gang-rape was implanted (the episode aired long before Cosby's scandal for sexual assault, thus is probably not related and just a coincidence). | |

In Books of the Raksura, the main character, Moon, a Raksura, never saw another member of his species and didn't even know how they were called or if he was the only one left. Moon was desperately trying to find any signs, anything about his race, until he found a city attacked by the Fell, a race of vicious flying predators who eat intelligent beings. There, a Fell ruler (always male gender) called Liheas tried to brainwash him into thinking he was Fell too and then raped him, after which Moon realized he was not one of them and broke the ruler's neck while the ruler was sleeping, then set the room on fire and escaped. Because of this traumatic event, he stopped all attempts to ever try to find his race, didn't care anymore about himself for a long time, and became cynical, wary and distrustful of others, especially of the Fell and even more of the Raksura. | |

Alucard, aka Vlad Tepes Dracul of Wallachia was sexually abused as a child during his time spent as a political hostage for his father under the Ottoman Empire by Turks. Also, in the backstory of Seras, she witnessed a rape and was horribly screwed up by that. More exactly, she saw her mother being killed and raped. Yup, in that order. |

The Change Room: Shar it turns out was raped by a man who'd invited her to a party on his boat near Marseilles. It took her by surprise completely, with her having difficulty trusting men again for a long time after that, and this is the most affecting part of her past we learn about at first. Martin was also groomed by his female teacher in his pre teens, after which she had begun raping him under the cover of a "romance". He convinced himself it was romance, and claimed that his mother was just imagining things after she discovered this, so his rapist got away with this. Only later did he realize what she really did to him. |

Detective Mike Logan may have been molested by a Catholic priest (he says only that the priest "put the moves on" him, leaving it unclear whether it was merely an attempt or he actually succeeded), alongside other kids. A friend also offered him money to be molested by a Catholic priest as a young boy. In the Law & Order: UK remake of the episode, Logan's Expy, Matt Devlin, isn't actually sure himself whether or not he was abused, though Devlin mentions that the priest in question was always eyeballing him, resulting in him feeling very uncomfortable even if he was not being abused outright. | |

In Phenomena, this is a part of Sha-ra's backstory. He was raised to be the next bearer of the titular prophecy book, but as his teacher and brother died in a fire. He was taken in by the Winter Bears and tried to live his own life. He became one of the first to become a Dragon Rider, but his destiny caught up with him; it was up to him to find the chosen children who hadn't appeared in 100s of years which was what made his teacher mad and burn his castle down. Sha-ra then became an alcoholic. One day, he saw a beautiful woman who invited him to a drink. He doesn't remember much but followed her into an inn, and later woke up, felt dirty and disgusting and wanted to do anything to forget it. 9 months later, the woman appeared before him again with a baby, he said some things he shouldn't have, and the woman offered to kill the child. He begged her to not kill the child, and she scarred the child and placed a curse on him that the next time he met the child, he would die. | |
