Dear writers, stop using rape as a plot instrument. You're all using it so much and so lightly that you're making it look like a normal thing and it's not a normal thing, it's an abomination, an aberration, not a damn tool for you to thicken the plot. If you can't come up with a way to make your character "deeper" (FYI, growth doesn't always have to come from a trauma) then do the world a favor and stop writing.
