The Pitt’s Rape Kit Storyline Is a Quietly Revolutionary Depiction of Sexual Assault

Television frequently depicts sexual assault, mirroring its prevalence in real life. Teen dramas often address date rape in standalone episodes, while large-scale fantasy series like Game of Thrones sometimes use sexual violence to develop characters or create a sense of the world, which can be controversial. Reality TV often features stories of survival, and in some disturbing instances, has even captured potentially non-consensual interactions on camera. Additionally, shows focused on law enforcement, legal dramas, and medical professions are common, with Law & Order: SVU currently in its 27th season and having aired nearly 600 episodes centered around sex crimes.
