This post reminds me of two poorly depicted rape "stories" and one that, iirc a rather nicely portrayed book that had a rape as an important part of the story.
The poorly portrayed story lines were 1) Luke and Laura on _General Hospital_ back in the mid 1980s and 2) the movie _I Spit On Your Grave_ and the fairly portrayed on was a romance by Charlotte Lamb where she didn't go into detail about the assault but showed the repercussions on the victim and those around her (wish I could remember the title, but it has been more than two decades since I read it.)
One more thing about the "Luke and Laura" story: other "daytime dramas" copied the same sh!t on their shows.
