Room 222 had an episode where Karen Valentine's character was almost raped by a student. Schoolroom series/movies do this plot a lot. The White Shadow also had such a plot with Brian Stokes Mitchell as the psychotic student who attacks Ms Buchanon.

I've never seen it, but supposedly Too Close for Comfort had a storyline where Monroe gets raped in a van by two older women. I really wonder how that one played itself out (was it done as a joke or were they trying to make a point that men get raped too?)

Webster had an episode about child molestation. It included Emmanuel Lewis telling the younger viewers what to do if they are approached or touched inappropriately. Something like; Stop, Go and Tell.

I've seen both Monster and Boys Don't Cry. Knowing both these movies were based on real life stories made those scenes even harder to watch.

No there wasn't. A guy tried to rape her, but she got away.

In the Episode "Pretty Babies", Tootie was almost lured into doing Child Porn.

In the episode "The Runaway", Tootie almost got lured into child prostitution.

I remember when that one first aired I read somewhere that Norman Lear had originally planned it for ONE DAY AT A TIME.
