  Rape - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The rape of Chrysippus by Laius, however, is represented in darker terms, and was known in antiquity as "the crime of Laius", a term which came to be applied to all male rape.
Rape, as an adjunct to warfare, was prohibited by the military codices of Richard II and Henry V (1385 and 1419 respectively).
Typical rape shield laws prohibit cross-examination of the victim with respect to issues, such as his or her prior sexual history, or the manner in which he or she was dressed at the time of the rape.

 08/09/01 - Racial Gangrape: Another Diversity Disaster
It consists in the ritual gang rape of white women by non-white immigrants.
Rapes happen all the time, of course, but this one was unusually notable.

 SafeYouth.org - Teen Facts - Youth Gangs
A gang is a group of teens and young adults that hang out together and are involved in joint violent, illegal, or criminal activity.  They generally give themselves a common name or symbol, and they often choose to wear a certain type of clothing or to display some other identifying item.
Teens that are gang members are much more likely than other teens to commit serious and violent crimes.  For example, a survey in Denver found that while only 14% of teens were gang members, they were responsible for committing 89% of the serious violent crimes.
And, while many people think of gangs as just an inner-city problem, that is clearly no longer the case.  In the past few decades we have seen a dramatic increase in the growth of gang problems in smaller cities, towns, and rural areas.

 Sudan: Darfur: Rape as a weapon of war: sexual violence and its consequences - Amnesty International
Rape is first and foremost a violation of the human rights of women and girls; in some cases in Darfur, it is also clearly used to humiliate the woman, her family and her community.
Rape in itself is a heinous human rights violation, but the victims are likely to suffer further because of the shame and the stigma associated to it.
Rape and other forms of sexual violence in Darfur are not just a consequence of the conflict or of the result of the conduct of undisciplined troops.

 Journal of Popular Film and Television: Taming the victim: rape in soap opera
Luke raped Laura, but when he later married her, the series retroactively redefined her rape as "a choreographed seduction." "Most viewers," Deborah Rogers argues, "are oblivious of the fact that reinterpreting soap rapes and brutality as romance denies - if not legitimates and glorifies - male violence by reading it as love" (38).
In contrast, Julia's rape is shown, as it occurs and in flashback, and is unequivocally rape.
Enacting Burt's myth that women "cry rape," Louie claims that he and Julia were lovers and that she "killed his kid" (Julia had an abortion after the rape) out of spite.
