I read a book once about a teenage boy who was raped; I think that any slash writer who's considering writing m/m rape should have to read this book before they write it. The author did a really good job with a lot of factors that I would never have thought of but that seemed realistic; for example, the boy was sixteen, tall, and strong, so there's the unspoken thought that he should have been powerful enough to fight off the guys who tried to rape him. (They pulled up along the sidewalk to supposedly ask for directions, and when he came over to help them they threw him in the back of the car and tied him up.) He also starts questioning his sexual orientation and feels like no one could ever find him attractive again, and he doesn't know if he even wants them to.
I would have given up on the gratuitous violence movie too.
On an entirely different note, I'm going to re-proofread In A Time Of Uncertainty and send it to you for the Percy archive. :)
