I haven't heard of that one, but I agree that using rape/sexual abuse for shock value is horrible. There are other subjects I feel shouldn't be used for shock value either, but using sexual assault just for shock value is the most abhorrent.

Also, to comment on what Banning said, even though I have a character in my comics who vomits when sufficiently terrified (which is rare), I agree completely. I've heard of people vomiting due to stress, but it's not the same thing. When you're horrified it's much more natural to feel faint or actually pass out rather than to vomit. Violence is bad too, but it's what you'd expect to see in anything horror, and it's a fine attempt at shock and plot, if done correctly. When you add sexual assault in, though, you gotta think up of a good reason for it to be in there, rather than shock value.
