SEASON 1: A main character is sexually assaulted by their foster father (flashbacks to this throughout the show). Another character lies that a woman is his niece (not actually related), but they end up having a sexual relationship.

MOST RELEVANT EPISODES: S1E1 (explicitly shown SA mentioned above); S1E10 (tries to kiss bio father without knowing); S2E16 (retelling a story).

S3E5 and onwards features a plotline about past SA by father, including confrontations with him, victim blaming, not being believed, etc. I would also be cautious when watching the "previously on Star" recaps at the beginning of episodes.

Star and Simone (sisters) are both foster children, and have experienced a lot of abuse while in foster homes. A main plot of child sexual abuse is introduced and shown semi-graphically in the first episode. Many other characters experience or have also experienced physical/sexual/emotional/financial abuse as children.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor, and there are flashbacks to this throughout the show. In S3E1 someone is sexually assaulted in their home, and it becomes a new plotline until the end of S3E9, and is brought up again in the last episode. There are instances of "consensual" sex involving minors under 18 and adults throughout the show, including with main characters. Characters also talk about instances where they or other people have been sexually assaulted. On-screen straight-up sexual assault doesn't happen that often (usually cuts away), but I'd say there are enough dubious consent scenes that I would maybe avoid the show if it makes you uncomfortable.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor. In S3E18 someone is tricked into having sex with someone who isn't their partner. There are also instances of "fully consensual" sex involving minors under 18 throughout the show, including with main characters. On-screen straight-up sexual assault doesn't happen that often (usually cuts away without graphic details), but I'd say there are enough dubious consent scenes that I would maybe avoid the show if it makes you uncomfortable.

In S1E1 we see (clothed) sexual assault of a minor by her foster father, which is referenced often. Characters mention having been assaulted by older relatives (eg. plotline beginning in S3E5 where someone was SAed by their father). There are also many instances of "consensual" sex involving minors under 18 throughout the show, including with main characters.

ABSOLUTELY YES. Two of the main characters are under 18, one of them being 16. They act sexually in their music performances throughout the show. One of them has a learned habit of using sex to get what she wants or needs. There is no nudity, as most of the sex scenes are fade to black.

Yes definitely throughout the show. Also portrayal of sex workers (eg. strippers, prostitutes) in a neutral light. No nudity though.
