Humboldt wrote a chilling and brilliant pasta, "The Long List", which does just what Shawn described. One of the major plot points was that this poor girl was sold into sexual slavery by her own father. It's disturbing, but there's a point to it. It wasn't used simply for shock value, and it's neither glamorized nor shrugged aside. It shows how disgusting the creeps who do these kinds of things really are.

At the other end of the spectrum, there was the rape scene near the end of the movie Splice. A lot of people responded, "What the blazes was that all about!?!"
