History Main / AttemptedRape

* ''ComicBook/XMen''[='s=] ComicBook/{{Storm}} was nearly raped as a child by a man from whom she accepted a ride, but killed him with a knife.

* In ''Webcomic/ThistilMistilKistil'', part of what Hedda is fleeing.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Spinnerette}}'', a pair of drunken frat boys jump the newly-empowered Heather and get their hindquarters handed to them. Subverted, they only wanted to scare her.
-->'''Frat Boy:''' We're not rapists, we're merely douchebags!
* ''Webcomic/MegaTokyo'': Invoked -- No need to ask Ping what she would do if someone tried to rape her.

* In ''Webcomic/{{Endstone}}'', [[http://endstone.net/comic/issue-1-page-21/ what Cole was dealing with when she rocked the Banestone.]]

* In ''Webcomic/BobAndGeorge'', [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000730c Protoman fears this is a possibility.]] [[http://www.bobandgeorge.com/archives/000731c Fortunately the Author is too drunk.]]

* ''Webcomic/{{Evon}}'' has two attempted rapes in a row, both stopped when someone more powerful turns up.
* The ''WebAnimation/HazbinHotel'' prequel comic ''"A Day in the (After)Life"'' has Alastor brutally murder (and then devour) a butcher for attempting to rape a female customer.
-->'''[[EvenEvilHasStandards Alastor]]:''' You know, I do really hate those who can't show a little more respect to those of fairer means. It's rather distasteful, ''[[VoiceOfTheLegion LIKE]]'' ''[[NightmareFace BAD]]'' ''[[PreMortemOneLiner MEAT.]]''

* In the first season of ''WesternAnimation/{{Spawn}}'' the eponymous hero tries [[spoiler:and succeeds JustInTime]] to stop a serial pedophile from making a little girl his latest victim.

* In the DatingSim ''VisualNovel/TrueLoveJunaiMonogatari'', the player must have the PC save one of his prospect love intrests ([[spoiler: the local FieryRedhead]]) from a rapist if they want him to score either with her or [[spoiler: with [[HotForTeacher their beautiful teacher]].]]

* In the backstory to ''VideoGame/MakaiKingdom'', we learn that [[spoiler: Seedle and Salome were once human adventurers working together as part of a party. Seedle had the hots for Salome, but she didn't reciprocate, leading to him trying to force himself upon her at one point. She manages to stab him to death, but the rest of the party refused to hear her out and had her BurnedAtTheStake for killing a "noble samurai". Now the ruler of the Underworld, Seedle foils an attempt to revive Salome in the game's True Ending, implying he plans to succeed where he failed as a human. Alexander, Zetta's rival who had a one-track mind of settling said rivalry, upon hearing of Seedle's plans, outright ''annuls his rivalry'' to beat the piss out of Seedle, presumably killing him.]]

* ''ComicBook/TheUltimates'': Pyro suggested to Mastermind that they rape Valkyrie, while she was unconscious.

* In ''Tosca'', Scarpia tries to rape the heroine after forcing her to accept the original ScarpiaUltimatum. She explains to him why that was not a good idea, which involves taking a very long, very sharp knife and stabbing him to death. "Il bascia di Tosca!" (That's how Tosca kisses!)

Someone is about to be [[RapeAsDrama raped]], but [[JustInTime at the last minute]], [[AssholeVictim the rapist is foiled violently.]] This can happen in one of two ways. If the victim is particularly tough, she (or more rarely he) fights the rapist off themself. Alternatively, they will be rescued by someone else. Depending on who does the rescuing, this can fuel BodyguardCrush or start a RescueRomance.

** [[spoiler:Those three boys]] who [[spoiler:[[BreakTheCutie Rena]] beat with a [[BatterUp bat]]]], had attempted to rape her in her backstory. That also may have been one of the things that tempted her to [[InterruptedSuicide suicide]]. [[spoiler: Well, the boys ''[[AlternateCharacterInterpretation might]]'' have tried to rape her. On the other hand, it might be that her Hinamizawa Syndrome made her ''think'' they were trying to rape her, and the boys refuse to testify against her because she scares the living crap out of them, rather than because they're guilty.]].

** In the sequel, when Vieri de Pazzi ambushes Ezio and his family outside Monterigionni, he says that "I have ''such things'' planned for your mother and sister!" He doesn't outright say it, but its very clear what he's going to do. Fortunately, Ezio quickly introduces Vieri's goons to his hidden blade, and then [[BigDamnHeroes Uncle Mario crashes the party.]]

* ''[[LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon DanMachi]] VideoGame/MemoriaFreese'': Hitachi Chigusa finds herself on the receiving end of one from a group of goblins soon after she and her friend Kashima Ouka wind up in ''LightNovel/GoblinSlayer''‘s world during the crossover campaign ''Dungeon and Goblins''. Fortunately Ouka was able to cut them down before they could do much damage to her clothes. Ouka also saves Amid Teasanare, Noble Fencer, and Sword Maiden from this at the hands of another group as well.

Popular in fanfiction, especially for the aforementioned BodyguardCrush and RescueRomance. Can result in BigDamnHeroes since RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil.

* ''{{WebVideo/AFK}}'': A male gamer tries to rape Steven, but Jack stabs him in the back.

Not to be confused with NearRapeExperience, where the would-be rapist stops of their own free will. Distinct from DateRapeAverted in that there is no date, and the rapist must, by necessity, be stopped violently -- no amount of yelling and slapping is going to work as a deterrent.

Someone is about to be raped, but [[JustInTime at the last minute]], the rapist is foiled. Violently. This can happen in one of two ways.

* This happens quite occasionally on ''WesternAnimation/RickAndMorty'', and, unlike most BlackComedy in general, '''none of it is ever played for laughs.''' '''''Ever.''''' The most terrifying example, however, happens in the episode, "Meeseeks and Destroy", when [[spoiler: a child molester attacks Morty in a public bathroom, [[BreakTheCutie leaving the poor kid completely traumatized as soon as he (violently) escapes.]]]] And Rick gets homicidally angry as soon as he puts 2 and 2 together.

* ''ComicBook/TheWalkingDead'': When Holly is captured by The Saviors, she is nearly raped by David while she's restrained. However, Negan walks in on them in this attempt and is [[EvenEvilHasStandards disgusted]], reminding David that they ''[[RapeIsASpecilKindOfEvil never]]'' rape. He kills David in front of Holly right there as punishment for breaking this rule.
