Good thread milk. I also feel the same about scenes portraying sexual molestation encounters with minors...extremely distasteful. But perhaps writers continuously put them on the screen (movies and televison) not so much to create heightened trauma to past victims (Though I imagine it's hard not to feel upset for a victim to view such a thing) but to show us how devastating but also how real such an unimaginable thing can be--even if those who are guilty of such heinous behavior are close to us--after lots of scandals/reports of children confessing to being harmed by teachers, ministers, etc--it has really opened people up to be more cognizant and critical of the adults we have around our young people--and has taught us to never completely turn down skepticism of some adults (whom were thought upon as well-trusted individuals) If that is their intention for incorporating these scenes in, then that is a relatively understandable one.
