Rape pornography is a genre of pornographic scene involving the depiction of rape. This genre is not unique to adult film and videos as simulated scenes of rape, sometimes just as disturbing yet without the graphic imagery, and other forms of sexual violence have appeared in mainstream cinema almost since its advent.[1] For example, in the 1988 film The Accused actress Jodie Foster received a Best Actress Academy Award for her portrayal of rape victim Sarah Tobias.[2]
There is some debate whether this form of pornography encourages people to commit rape. The pairing of sex with violence distinguishes the issue of rape pornography from that of pornography in general. Studies of the issue produce conflicting results.[3]
