Minor: Rape and Sexual assault

Further information r.e. the rape/sexual assault warning:

it is implied at several points in the book that a character was raped before the start of the story, but this was not depicted on the page. It could also be interpreted as non-sexual physical assault. The character who was assaulted was a minor at the time.
