An adult character has a sexual encounter with a minor. That same character fantasizes about committing sexual assault on the main character, and briefly attempts to fulfill that fantasy.

Another character engages in an apparently consensual sexual relationship wherein a power dynamic makes consent iffy.

A third character convincingly but falsely claims to have been sexually assaulted.
