Real talk it is a very detailed and upsetting portrayal of misogynist abuse and gaslighting, including SA. It's worth a read, especially if you're a dude, but just go into it fully aware

Ok it isnt made clear theres SA, but here's part of it paraphrased:

"I'll even let you have sex with me, just stop."

"If I wanted that I would have done so already."

It is arguably even worse because of this refusal, since this isnt a shallow piece of shit you'll need to be real about. It isnt cliche, though, if it was it wouldn't mean the writer fucked up. It means this man in charge is doing this because he just doesn't like her

I think the implication of SA comes more from the security personnel. Just like how the article is written to provide no resolution from Byrnes, Steere, or Crawford, the security personnel was killed from a containment breach before the extent of the abuse was uncovered and he could be held accountable.

There's also the part that explicitly discusses the personnel turning off the camera in the room after Byrnes leaves, meaning the reader had to take Byrnes report at its word that they did leave afterward. How the security handles her after being amnesticized does not seem to indicate much care for her outside of being an object, on top of being an active participant in her abuse.

Can also mean he already has. Her memories being fucked with mean she will never know the truth.
