Even if you never watch Grey's Anatomy, [View all]
do yourself a favor and watch episode 'S15 E19 Silent All These Years'. An extremely powerful story, dealing with the reality of sexual assault. Well worth your 40-odd minutes. And what victims go through after the fact.
ABC wanted to tone it down a bit, but the writer(s?) refused and insisted it be shown as written. ABC finally backed down. We watched it on HULU, but the original ABC broadcast came with a warning that it was intense and anyone who had been a victim might want to watch with a friend.
Men, make yourself watch as well. See and hear what women actually go through (there is no violence shown, only the after effects). And, as a final note, without giving you a spoiler, one of the last scenes has women lining a hospital corridor. According to ABC, everyone lining the corridor was either an actor or an ABC employee who wanted to be part of the scene.
Well worth 45 minutes or so of your life.

Footnote: I don't think I have ever recommended a TV show on a forum like this and it will probably be a very long time before I do so again. This was one powerful show. I have never been sexually assaulted and don't know anyone who has admitted to me that they have. And the story still knocked me out. TV at its finest.
