The scenario that I recall was depicted in the book.

It's not a handsome, square-jawed Hollywood actor who is doing the raping. It's a gross, decrepit, imbecilic asshole like Roy Moore, who just happens to hold the reins of power and will exercise that power in any depraved way he can.

The gross, decrepit, imbecilic assholes are jockeying for power now. Their champion is Donald Trump.
