[[caption-width-right:350:Obviously, it's just fatherly affection.]]

* ''Series/{{Taboo}}'': There's a degree of sexual tension between Lorna and her stepson James. She had no part in raising him however, given that he only met her after his father's death, and are about the same age anyway.

* Played with in ''Series/{{Legion}}'', where Syd once used her body-switching abilities to impersonate her mother, then tried to have sex with her mother's boyfriend. Unfortunately, she reverted back to her normal form partway through the act, and in order to get out of trouble, she claimed that the boyfriend had raped her.

* ''Film/TheBookOfHenry'': The plot of the film, as it were, to centers around a plot to kill Glen Sickleman in order to save his stepdaughter from being abused, presumably sexually. When someone refers to him as her father at one point, she very pointedly corrects that person and calls him her '''step'''father.

** Christian Troy hooks up with a young nurse and her cougar mother. While he's glad to fulfill a common male fantasy, he's rather disturbed when he learns that they sometimes involve the daughter's stepfather (Christian is himself the victim of child sexual abuse by his late stepfather). He throws them out of his apartment afterwards.

* ''Series/NipTuck'': Christian Troy hooks up with a young nurse and her cougar mother. While he's glad to fulfill a common male fantasy, he's rather disturbed when he learns that they sometimes involve the daughter's stepfather (Christian is himself the victim of child sexual abuse by his late stepfather). He throws them out of his apartment afterwards.

* In ''Manga/ElfenLied'', it's revealed that Mayu was constantly molested by her stepfather, and when she told her mother this, she became jealous, and blamed Mayu for her husband not being physically interested in her. Eventually Mayu decides that she had enough and ran away, and was homeless until she was found by Kouta and Yuka.

* The plot of ''Literature/MythosAcademy'' concerns Gwendolyn Frost who has the ability to read the history of anything - or anyone she touches. Upon discovering a hairbrush from one of her high school friend's, she gained visions from said friend which showed that her friend's stepfather had been sexually abusing her and was even planning to move onto her friends young sister later.

* This is implied in ''[[Literature/AWrinkleInTime A Swiftly Tilting Planet]]'', when Meg is able to see visions of her mother-in-law's teen years. The mother-in-law's widowed mother married a man who physically abused his wife and stepson, and was not shy about making sexual advances toward his stepdaughter. It doesn't seem, from what we're shown, that it ever advanced as far as outright sexual abuse (probably so as not to scare younger readers), but the implication that he wanted to do it is clearly there.
* The climax of ''Literature/EleanorAndPark'' is Eleanor discovering that [[spoiler: her stepfather has been writing increasingly creepy and sexual notes on her textbooks. He’s also been eyeing her for some time as well, and Eleanor fears that he might also go after her nine year old sister, Maisie. This results in her running away to her uncle and aunt with the help of Park.]]

Unfortunately, she reverted back to her normal form partway through the act and in order to get out of trouble, she claimed that the boyfriend had raped her.

* In an episode of ''Series/LawAndOrderCriminalIntent'', the detectives realize that a woman seduced her then 14-year old stepson when her husband left them alone while he went off on a business trip. He is consequently the ''father'' of someone he believed to be his younger half-brother. Even creepier, her dialogue and behavior show that 20 years later, she is ''still'' lusting after him, acting incredibly jealous of and rude to his wife.

* In ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', the protagonist Humbert married Dolores Haze's mother precisely because he was attracted to Dolores herself, a common tactic by pedophiles to get close to their victims.

* In ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', the protagonist Humbert married Lolita's mother precisely because he was attracted to her daughter.

* Hinako from ''Manga/BitterVirgin'' DoesNotLikeMen because she was raped by her step-father for several years. This resulted in two [[ChildByRape pregnancies]] [[TeenPregnancy before the age of 16]]. Her mother didn't believe her until the second pregnancy.

This usually occurs in men towards their step-daughters, but it can occur in other combinations as well. It's almost always non-consensual, though some rare pairings do result in a consensual relationship. Sometimes, this trope is inverted with someone coming onto their step-parent, instead of the other way around. This trope is usually unrelated to WickedStepmother. A wicked step-mother is usually physically or emotionally abusive, but very rarely do they delve into the realm of sexual abuse.

* It's stated in ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid2SonsOfLiberty'' that [[spoiler:Otacon's]] stepmother abused him as a teenager. This was a major factor in his dad being DrivenToSuicide.
