History Main / SerialRapist

* ''Manga/BakiTheGrappler'': UltimateLifeForm [[BigBad Yujiro Hanma]] had a long history of this, in addition to being a DepravedBisexual as a result of TestosteronePoisoning. His known victims included Jack's mother and Joe William, with the implication they weren't the only ones as he frequently uses this as a threat when annoyed.

** It's very strongly implied in the second episode, even before her AttemptedRape of Ange, that Zola made a habit of taking sexual advantage of her subordinates. Later confirmed when Hilda tells Ange that [[QuestionableConsent she basically went along to get along]]. [[spoiler:This makes her death in combat in the second episode due to Ange's inexperience rather {{karmic|Death}}.]]
** The BigBad is basically a [[GodIsEvil 'divine' rapist]]; he grows sexually obsessed with any woman who rejects him, quickly disposes of them once he's bored, and {{Mind Rape}}d ''the entire world of mana'' with his science experiments into becoming the bigoted sheep that plague the heroes.

* In ''The Incubus'', a small town is terrorized by someone who attacks and brutally rapes women. [[spoiler:It turns out that not just any serial rapist isn't behind it: it's a demon summoned by a cult. Incubi in mythology were all about this, along with their female counterparts, succubi.]]

* In the sex comedy ''Video Vixens'', a film-within-the-film, an X-rated ''Dragnet'' parody, involves a serial rapist who is [[TwoDunIt actually identical twins]]; one would go out raping while the other is seen in public doing something mundane as an alibi. The next night [[TwinSwitch they'd switch places]]. (Yes, despite the description, it's a comedy.)

* ''The Survivor's Club'' has both David Price and Ron Viggio. David is a serial rapist and murderer of children, who was imprisoned before the series began. Viggio is a serial rapist of adult women, who asks for David's help in devising a foolproof way to prey on women; they settle on leaving another man's DNA at each of the crime scenes, framing him for Viggio's rapes.

*** His second instance was [[spoiler:his attempted rape of Casca when he was severely crippled. As his body was barely functioning at this point, he's only to limp towards her and agonizingly hump her chest, generating more pity than anything else]].

* * Popobawa, a demon believed in in Myth/SwahiliMythology, allegedly targets entire households, anally raping all inhabitants [[DepravedBisexual regardless of sex]] and continuing every night until the attack is reported.

* Popobawa, a demon believed in in some Myth/AfricanMythology, allegedly targets entire households, anally raping all inhabitants [[DepravedBisexual regardless of sex]] and continuing every night until the attack is reported.

* Evidently the case with [[HateSink Sohei Dojima]] of ''VideoGame/Yakuza1'', as when he kidnaps Yumi, Kazuma immediately realizes how much danger she's in due to Dojima having done it before with other women.

** ''ComicBook/JusticeLeagueOfAmerica'': Dr. Arthur Light was turned into this in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' when it was revealed he violated the Elastic Man's wife Sue Dibny. Since then, Light has been a threat to every woman he'd come across with rape being his primary fascination in life. When he was caught and killed by ComicBook/TheSpectre, he'd been preparing to rape three women he'd caught and dressed as the female members of the ComicBook/TeenTitans.

* In Marvel's ''{{ComicBook/Alias}}'', Zebediah Kilgrave, the Purple Man, uses his mind control powers for the worst possible means. Kilgrave takes control of women who catch his fancy, mentally dominating them into sleeping with him while getting a sick thrill out of it. MindRape, too: Jessica says that while he never touched her in the several months he held her in thrall, he would force her to wish she was in the position of the woman he was raping.
* In ''ComicBook/{{Daredevil}}'', Larry Cranston, the third Mister Fear, became one after he discovered that by altering the chemical makeup of his fear gas, he could use it to induce desire instead of terror. He's regularly seen sleeping with multiple women, all of whom have been drugged into it.
* Willy Pete of ''{{ComicBook/Empowered}}'' is an incredibly monstrous example of this. A fire elemental who was once a human being, Willy Pete has raging, wild desires -- sexual and otherwise. However, since humans are too fragile for him, he targets superpowered beings so he can both rape and [[IAmAHumanitarian eat them]] since they're strong enough to take it.
* Hawley Griffin of ''ComicBook/TheLeagueOfExtraordinaryGentlemen'', in addition to being a ruthless snake and traitor, used his invisibility to violate as many women as he could. Prior to his recruitment by the team, Griffin was hiding in a girls' home, where he was thought by the students (including {{Literature/Pollyanna}}) to be the Holy Spirit. [[DudeNotFunny This]] [[BlackComedyRape is]] PlayedForLaughs.
* Junior of ''ComicBook/SecretSix'' is a hideously disfigured, sadistic, and murderous crime boss. Junior, in addition to countless other crimes, has, by her own admission, "forced relations, men and women" and shows no sign of ever stopping her depravities.
* Junior Roark of ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is a serial rapist who targets children. Also a {{serial killer}}, Junior's focus is on [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming making them scream so he can get aroused]]. When he encounters the hero who once castrated him, Junior brags about how he's going to rape and kill the one girl Hartigan defended years ago, telling him "they've all screamed! Dozens of them, maybe even a hundred!"
* ''ComicBook/TeenTitans'':
** [[BigRedDevil The demonic Trigon]] has raped ''hundreds'' of women over the centuries, [[ChildByRape including Raven's mother]][[note]]whether it was a BedTrick or rape without any pretense [[AdaptationalConsent varies with the retelling]][[/note]]. This isn't out of lust but in order to sire powerful children to spread his evil and help him conquer.
** Dr. Arthur Light was turned into this in ''ComicBook/IdentityCrisis'' when it was revealed he violated the Elastic Man's wife Sue Dibny. Since then, Light has been a threat to every woman he'd come across with rape being his primary fascination in life. When he was caught and killed by ComicBook/TheSpectre, he'd been preparing to rape three women he'd caught and dressed as the female members of the Teen Titans.

* One of the most vile foes of ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' is Dr. Psycho, a DepravedDwarf who specializes in deadly mind control. With his sickening sexual appetites, Psycho dominates the minds and bodies of women he encounters and delights in degrading them however he can.
* Former ''Franchise/XMen'' member ComicBook/{{Mystique}} is a RareFemaleExample with her nature as a DepravedBisexual used to highlight how truly sick she is. She uses sex as a [[ManipulativeBastard weapon to manipulate people]], and is a {{sadist}} who [[ReallyGetsAround frequently]] uses her VoluntaryShapeshifting powers to perform {{Bed Trick}}s on people ForTheEvulz.

* [[TruthInTelevision True to life]], Lavrentiy Beria in ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'' is well-known to be a serial rapist, who got away with his crimes for years as he was the head of [[SecretPolice Stalin's infamous NKVD]]. He's charged with over three hundred counts of rape, some even involving prepubescent girls, before he's summarily executed.[[note]]The actual Beria would both troll the streets for random girls to rape, as well as extort sexual favors from women desperate to free their relatives from government custody. His behavior was supposedly so well-known and out of control that Stalin once called his daughter to order her to leave the house when he realized she and Beria were alone together.[[/note]] However, at his actual trial, he wasn't really charged with this.

* [[TruthInTelevision True to life]], Beria in ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'' is well-known to be a serial rapist, who got away with his crimes for years as he's head of the KGB. He's charged with over three hundred counts of rape, some even involving prepubescent girls, before he's summarily executed.[[note]]The actual Beria would both troll the streets for random girls to rape, as well as extort sexual favors from women desperate to free their relatives from government custody. His behavior was supposedly so well-known and out of control that Stalin once called his daughter to order her to leave the house when he realized she and Beria were alone together.[[/note]] However, at his actual trial, he wasn't really charged with this.

Compare/contrast their pathological cousins, the SerialKiller and {{Pyromaniac}}. Liable to be a {{Sadist}}. See also MurderersAreRapists (when those who've killed people are also depicted as having raped them.)

* ''Series/OctoberFaction'': Rob, it turns out, {{date rape}}d at least three other girls before he tried to do this with Van. When she publicly accused him, they all come forward to back her up.

* ''Series/WalkerTexasRanger'' has the titular Ranger's biggest foe, [=Victor LaRue=]. Walker would love nothing more than to tear this asshole limb from limb, because he had done so to Alex several times after his first appearance in "Cowboy" to the point she made certain he would never get released on technicalities again. It is during his final appearance in "[=The Trial of LaRue=]", when he takes a courtroom full of people, including Alex, hostage, it is clear that he finally pushed Walker way too far to the point he has had enough and coldly ''[[KilledOffForReal shoots him dead]]''.

* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': Prince Aegon Targaryen is a hormonal RoyalBrat with a habit of groping serving girls and is caught by her mother for sexually abusing one. While we only see him rape one girl, his mother's chastising that he "can't keep carrying on like this" indicates he's a repeated sex offender who uses his position to cover up his crimes.

* ''LightNovel/IsItWrongToTryToPickUpGirlsInADungeon'': Two female examples:
** Goddess Ishtar achieves this both personally and through RapeByProxy. She runs forced prostitution where many of her familia are coerced into participating and some of the potential "customers" are forced into it as well. She has [[TheDragon Phryne Jamil]] beat them into submission before bringing them to her where she uses her LivingAphrodisiac powers to rape girls into submission to be her slaves (Aisha being one prominent example). It is implied Ishtar also rapes men for her own pleasure since she rapes Hermes later and [[AttemptedRape attempts to rape]] [[spoiler: Bell]].

* ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' provides a rare female-on-male example. [[BondageIsBad Celenike]] [[HateSink Icecolle]] [[TokenEvilTeammate Yggdmillennia]], is stated to have kidnapped and raped young boys/men out of sadism between jobs in her past, and wants to do the same thing to her own Servant Astolfo. The {{Double Standard|RapeFemaleOnMale}} definitely doesn't apply here since she is treated as a despicable person.

* [[KavorkaMan Glenn Quagmire]] from ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' is known for drugging, kidnapping, and enslaving various women before eventually sexually assaulting them against their will, even happily giving them [=STDs=]. Several of his victims even included [[{{Ephebophilia}} underaged high schoolers]]. One of his staple drinks is a "Roofie Colada". He often [[KarmaHoudini gets away with it]], though he does get charged with statutory rape in one episode.

* Eddie Low in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoIV'', who takes ExtremeOmnisexual to a truly horrifying extreme. He even threatens to rape [[OneManArmy Niko]] at one point, who thankfully kills him.

* In the free horror VisualNovel ''Funeral'', [[spoiler:the protagonist, once the CEO of a multinational corporation, is revealed to have slept with many women, many of them by coercion, and this came to light due to his victims coming forward #metoo style, with devastating effects upon both his business and his family, the latter of whom have never forgiven him for his actions or his lies]].
* One random encounter in ''VideoGame/RedDeadRedemption2'' concerns a deformed man named Sonny who knocks Arthur out with a wooden plank, ties him to the bed, rapes him, and dumps him in the bayou. Judging from the skeletons nearby, this isn't the first time he's done this, making him a SerialKiller as well.

* Red, aka [[spoiler:[[UnfortunateNames James Valentine Beethoven]]]] from ''{{Webcomic/Kagerou}}'', was both a serial rapist and murderer before he met his demise at the hands of one of his victims when he was momentarily distracted. Unfortunately, said distraction wound up [[ManySpiritsInsideOfOne absorbing Red's spirit into his mind]], including the ghosts of his many many victims.

* ''Manga/{{Berserk}}''

*** [[spoiler: His first instance was sneaking into Princess Charlotte's bedroom and proceeding to force himself upon her. While she agreed to the act due to her extreme devotion to him, it's pretty obvious that he would have likely done so even if she had not consented.]]
*** [[spoiler: His second instance was his attempted rape of Casca when he was severely crippled. As his body was barely functioning at this point, he's only to limp towards her and agonizingly hump her chest, generating more pity than anything else.]]
*** [[spoiler: His final attempt, and the one that cements his [[MoralEventHorizon irredeemability]] is his infamous, brutally graphic rape of Casca during the Eclipse while forcing Guts to watch. To make things even worse, it's his very first act upon becoming the fifth member of the God Hand, Femto, something he'd done by sacrificing his ''entire army'' and consigned them to be devoured by TheLegionsOfHell. And it's implied that Guts himself would have been next if Skull Knight hadn't shown up.]]
* The ''Anime/JinkiExtend'' manga, makes Kalis Norman into a PsychoForHire who specializes in psychologically breaking female pilots by raping them.

* From the manga ''{{Manga/Basilisk}}'', we have the BigBad Tenzen Yakushiji, an evil ninja of the Iga Clan. Tenzen usurps control of the Iga clan from his naive leader Oboro and attempts to rape her before being interrupted. Later on, Tenzen attempts to rape a ninja named Kagero of the Iga's enemies, the Koga clan, after pretending to be her ally. When he captures Kagero, Tenzen tortures her for sport, then tries again to rape Oboro in front of her for kicks. It is only a relief when [[spoiler:Oboro regains the use of her sight and [[YourHeadASplode makes his head go boom]]]].
* ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventure'':
** ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureStardustCrusaders'' DIO's minion J. Geil ([[DubNameChange AKA "Centerfold"]]) is a prolific rapist and SerialKiller of teenage girls, resulting in Jean-Pierre Polnareff joining the heroes' quest to stop DIO out of [[YouKilledMyFather a chance for revenge against him]] after raping and murdering his sister.
** Angelo Katagiri from ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureDiamondIsUnbreakable'' was arrested for robbery and rape at the age of ''twelve'', and his crimes only became more violent as time went on. 20 years later, he resorted to [[SerialKiller serial killing]] as well as rape and was sent to death row for raping and murdering three teenage boys before gaining a Stand and escaping prison. He threatens to rape Josuke's mother after killing his grandfather for arresting him in the past, which leads to him being defeated [[MakesSenseInContext and turned into a rock]] by Josuke.
* In ''Manga/TheYagyuNinjaScrolls'', the corrupt Daimyo Kato Akinari and his pet psycho squad, the Seven Spears of Aizu, love to abuse their power with women. Akinari abducts and rapes countless women, before giving them to the Spears to rape and torture for pleasure when he's finished.
* In ''Anime/LegendOfTheBlueWolves,'' Captain Continental is implied to be this -- it's fairly unlikely that Jonathan was his first victim, considering how he looks through the files of a group of new recruits to choose his next “target”, after having creepy sex with one of his devoted subordinates.
* ''Manga/DeathNote'': One of the few non-murderers whom Light kills for crimes is a man who allegedly raped several women and got away due to lack of evidence.[[note]]The Japanese justice system is prone to not pursuing charges against suspects unless a conviction is all but assured. This bit of ValuesDissonance incidentally also partly explains why Light never considers that some of his targets might have been [[MiscarriageOfJustice wrongfully convicted]].[[/note]] Light uses his death to [[spoiler: prove to FBIAgent Ray Penber that he's Kira and get information about the FBI's Kira investigation, before killing Penber as well.]]
* An early chapter of ''Manga/TelepathicWanderers'' has Nanase working in a hostess bar and tangling with a customer who rapes one of her coworkers. It's strongly implied he's done it before, and later tries to do the same to Nanase. [[spoiler:A telekinetic man who works at the bar [[PsychicAssistedSuicide forces him to shoot himself with his own gun]].]]

* ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' provides a rare female-on-male example. [[BondageIsBad Celenike]] [[HateSink Icecolle]] [[TokenEvilTeammate Yggdmillennia]], is stated to have kidnapped and raped young boys/men out of sadism between jobs in her past, and wants to do the same thing to her own Servant Astolfo. The {{Double Standard|RapeFemaleOnMale}} definitely doesn't apply here since she is treated as a despicable person.
* ''Manga/MoriartyThePatriot'': Flashbacks show that Duke Enoch J. Drebber was a prolific rapist of women, having them kidnapped, tortured, and raped before killing them afterwards.

* Junior Roark of ''ComicBook/SinCity'' is a serial rapist who targets children. Also a {{serial killer}}, Junior's focus is on [[LovesTheSoundOfScreaming making them scream so he can get aroused]]. When he encounters the hero who once castrated him, Junior brags about how he's going to rape and kill the one girl Hartigan defended years ago, telling him "they've all screamed! Dozens of them, maybe even a hundred!"

* Willy Pete of ''{{ComicBook/Empowered}}'' is an incredibly monstrous example of this. A fire elemental who was once a human being, Willy Pete has raging, wild desires -- sexual and otherwise. However, since humans are too fragile for him, he targets superpowered beings so he can both rape and [[IAmAHumanitarian eat them]] since they're strong enough to take it.

* Former ''Franchise/XMen'' member ComicBook/{{Mystique}} is a RareFemaleExample with her nature as a DepravedBisexual used to highlight how truly sick she is. She uses sex as a [[ManipulativeBastard weapon to manipulate people]], and is a {{sadist}} who [[ReallyGetsAround frequently]] uses her VoluntaryShapeshifting powers to perform {{Bed Trick}}s on people ForTheEvulz.

* In Marvel's ''{{ComicBook/Alias}}'', Zebediah Kilgrave, the Purple Man, uses his mind control powers for the worst possible means.

* ''FanFic/ShadowOfTheDragon'': Ryujin Satome, the resident [[TheBully school bully]] at Sakura's school, is stated in chapter 19 to have raped at least seven girls.
* ''FanFic/{{Hivefled}}'''s villains take it to extremes, to the point that their final victim and only escapee is now being followed by the ghosts of ''two thousand, four hundred and sixty'' previous victims.

* In a rare female/female example, the ''{{WebAnimation/RWBY}}'' fanfic ''FanFic/RubyAndNora'' has [[spoiler:Neo, who's a PsychoLesbian and raped Emerald and countless others before her]].

* Masayoshi Shido, antagonist of ''VideoGame/Persona5'' was canonically first introduced trying to assault a woman while drunk. In ''FanFic/DearOldDad'' it is very clear that this is not an isolated incident: so much so that the Phantom Thieves have a majority of its members being made up of his HeroicBastard children. All of whom are quite fine with killing him for this and much more.
* ''FanFic/ARabbitAmongWolves'': A rare female-on-male example. [[spoiler: The [=SDC=] manager is revealed to be a sex offender, using her power to rape faunus men]].

[[folder:Film]]
* Stans from ''Film/{{Predators}}'' is implied to be one, bragging about how when he gets home he's going to "snort so much cocaine, and rape some fine bitches." It's PlayedForLaughs in this case, and we never find out if he'd actually follow through - he's a useful and reliable ally to the protagonists throughout his screentime, and the film leaves the possibility open that he may have played up his backstory and AxCrazy attitude to some degree.

* In the sex comedy ''Video Vixens'', a film-within-the-film, an X-rated ''Dragnet'' parody, involves a serial rapist who is [[TwoDunIt actually identical twins]]; one would go out raping while the other is seen in public doing something mundane as an alibi. The next night [[TwinSwitch they'd switch places]]. (Yes, despite the description, it's a comedy.)

* In ''The Incubus'', a small town is terrorized by someone who attacks and brutally rapes women. [[spoiler:It turns out that not just any serial rapist isn't behind it: it's a demon summoned by a cult. Incubi in mythology were all about this, along with their female counterparts, succubi]].

* The major reveal in ''Film/{{Gothika}}'' is that [[spoiler:Miranda's late husband Doug and Sheriff Ryan were a duo of serial rapists/killers who kidnapped numerous women to molest them repeatedly and force them to do whatever they wanted.]]
* Nathan from ''Film/ExMachina''. It is strongly implied that he had sex with other robots [[spoiler:besides Kyoko]] and that it may have involved violence or other forms of coercion. Also, he has sex with Kyoko, but given that she cannot speak to him, is much less muscular, is stuck with him in a house with strict security protocols of his own design in the middle of nowhere, and [[spoiler: is a robot he programmed]], how much actual consent was it possible for her to give? Considering all the things he could do to her if she refused him, it would have been really hard to say no. [[spoiler: And the way she mockingly caresses his face after stabbing him in the back, a deliberate dark parody of the way she touches him in the scene where they have sex, implies that she didn't want to sleep with him]].
* The killer in ''Film/TheBostonStrangler'' is responsible for the rapes and murders of thirteen women. He was based on a real man who actually did this (although [[VeryLooselyBasedOnATrueStory very loosely]]).
* In ''Film/ActOfVengeance'', five women who have all been the victims of the same serial rapist band together to track him down and exact their revenge. The rapist is nicknamed 'Jingle Bells' by the police because he makes his victims sing "Jingle Bells" while he rapes them.
* [[TruthInTelevision True to life]], Beria in ''Film/TheDeathOfStalin'' is well-known to be a serial rapist, who got away with his crimes for years as he's head of the KGB. He's charged with over three hundred counts of rape, some even involving prepubescent girls, before he's summarily executed.[[note]]The actual Beria would both troll the streets for random girls to rape, as well as extort sexual favors from women desperate to free their relatives from government custody. His behavior was supposedly so well-known and out of control that Stalin once called his daughter to order her to leave the house when he realized she and Beria were alone together.[[/note]] However, at his actual trial, he wasn't really charged with this.

* ''Film/BigDriver'': Lester raped many women with the help of his mother and brother.
* ''Film/SawIV'': Ivan Landsness is a [[FatBastard morbidly obese]] man who brutally raped at least three women, beating them to the brink of death and even recording the rapes and taking photos of the raped and nearly dead women so he could get off. He ends up getting one of the most brutal deaths in the series, having three of his limbs torn off.
* ''Film/AmericanMary'': Drs. Grant and Walsh turn out to be a serial rapist duo, frequently raping women whom they drug while at their parties, videotaping their crimes too. Mary is simply the latest victim.
* ''Film/AHauntingAtSilverFalls'':
** Robbie is implied to be one, as he's referred to as thinking that "no means yes". When he calls Jordan one day in an effort to get her alone, she panics and refuses as a result.
** [[spoiler:Kevin]] explains to Jordan that while [[spoiler:Anne]] is really [[SerialKiller all about the pain]], he prefers the "pleasure" aspect, seconds before trying to rape her as well.

* ''The Survivor's Club'' has both David Price and Ron Viggio. David is a serial rapist and murderer of children, who was imprisoned before the series began. Viggio is a serial rapist of adult women, who asks for David's help in devising a foolproof way to prey on women; they settle on leaving another man's DNA at each of the crime scenes, framing him for Viggio's rapes.
* In ''Literature/ABrothersPrice'', Keifer Porter is hinted to have been this. The only rape that is explicitly stated to be one is that of [[spoiler: Trini]], but given his sexual sadism, it can be assumed that he [[MaritalRapeLicense raped]] his other wives, too.
* Given its {{crapsack|World}} medieval setting, there's a fair amount of rape in ''Literature/ASongOfIceAndFire'', and many soldiers and civilians alike have a distressingly casual attitude towards the topic. That said, there are still those who stand out, including Gregor Clegane, Ramsay Bolton, and most disgustingly, [[ChildHater Rorge]], all of whom are sexual sadists in peace and wartime.
** Khal Drogo's pledge to sail to Westeros in order to rape and enslave women and children in the name of his wife Daenerys in the first book is portrayed as a triumphant BadassBoast. Yikes.
* Many, many villains in ''Literature/TheSwordOfTruth'', but especially Darken Rahl, Emperor Jagang, and Demmin Nass. Darken Rahl is known to take any woman who catches his fancy and the series' hero was [[ChildByRape fathered through one such rape]]. Emperor Jagang is a serial rapist who keeps a harem of {{sex slave}}s, most mind-controlled to be with him. Demmin Nass is especially nasty, as his victims are young boys (who he murders afterward).
* We learn in the third book of ''Literature/ProtectorOfTheSmall'' that [[spoiler:Vinson of Genlith]] is one, which comes as little surprise considering how he behaved in book two. He raped two city women and beat a third (which is obliquely referenced as 'the rapes last winter' resulting in a new, aggressive commander for the local Goddess temple). When he enters the Chamber of the Ordeal for his knighthood, it spits him out and inflicts some LaserGuidedKarma by forcing him to endure all the injuries he inflicted as well as confessing before the royal court.
* William Hamleigh, the BigBad of the medieval romance ''Literature/ThePillarsOfTheEarth'', is a brutal lord who is sexually impotent with willing women. He can only get aroused through sexual brutality, either beating up prostitutes first or else by rape. He discovers this when he rapes heroine Aliena as revenge for her turning him down as a husband. After this, he gets a taste for rape. His wife betrays him in disgust after being on the receiving end of his rather basic attention.

* The Literature/EightySeventhPrecinct novel ''Lightning'' involves one of these, and to make it even more grisly he ''keeps re-attacking the same women''.
* In the final book of Creator/RASalvatore's ''Literature/TheSellswords'', Artemis Entreri returns to the town of his birth, which is lorded over by a corrupt church of Selune (ChaoticGood goddess of the moon) whose clerics frequently rape young villagers, including Entreri himself when he was a child. Entreri, now a ProfessionalKiller, [[RoaringRampageOfRevenge butchers them all.]]
* JerkJock Andy Evans of ''Literature/{{Speak}}'' is revealed to have sexually assaulted young high school girls throughout his four years of high school via writing on a mirror in the girls' room. His horrific raping of protagonist Melinda Sordino is what sets the plot of the book in motion.

* ''Literature/TheHeavenCycle'' has [[{{Sadist}} Ashton Sharpe]], who purchased prostitutes from human traffickers so he could rape them, and he even raped his son Andrew and [[spoiler:Jenny]].

* ''Literature/{{Orcs}}'': [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen]] [[BigBad Jennesta]] is a rare female example, [[DepravedBisexual violating men and women alike]] - and in the case of women, she loves to use [[GroinAttack unicorn horns]].
* ''Literature/DaughterOfSmokeAndBone'':
** Emperor Joram has [[OurAngelsAreDifferent seraphim women]] who take his fancy captured and forced into his harem as {{Sex Slave}}s with many of them unwilling. These women are so abused by him that he has to post guards to prevent them from killing themselves to get away from him. With even some of his own guards disgusted at his horrific lust.
** Jael is Joram's brother and is also a serial rapist just like his brother. Jael forces women to sleep with him by threat of death and uses his own female soldiers as he demands a new woman every night with them brutalized after the act. Jael's lust extends to even his own niece who he plans to turn into his personal SexSlave.
* ''Literature/StrangeTheDreamer'': [[TheCaligula Skathis]] upon taking over the city of Weep, would exult in his power, dominating those who lived in Weep. Skathis would ride out to kidnap young men and women, teens to adults, to be delivered to "serve" the gods. By which we mean, they were subjected to rape, either forcibly or magical coercion, turned into {{Sex Slave}}s for Skathis and his followers (including his own consort Isagol) for centuries.
* In the backstory of ''Literature/ShadowOfTheConqueror,'' [[EvilOverlord Dayless]] initially thought that rape was [[RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil so evil]] that even he couldn't do it, trying to convince himself that all the girls he took were either willing or at least giving QuestionableConsent. By the end, he knew that wasn't true, and that he'd become a compulsive rapist of young women in every way, racking up over four hundred victims.
* ''Literature/{{RCN}}'': Adele and Tovera once kill a serial child predator they encounter on a mission. Tovera remarks that even though her former employer, [[JustTheFirstCitizen Guarantor]] Porra of the Alliance, doesn't have a problem ''killing'' even young children [[{{Realpolitik}} to achieve political goals]], even he would turn his nose up at doing it for sexual pleasure.

* ''Series/CityOnAHill'': Jackie learns his new employer Sinclair Dryden is one, having drugged and raped a number of young women. He gets Decourcy to start building a case, finding the victims had been paid off and or intimidated into silence.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': The show has had more than its fair share of these, of whom the most notable and prolific include Karl "The Fox" Arnold, Billy "The Prince of Darkness" Flynn, and the Piano Man. Some of the show’s most despicable villains are the serial child molesters, including one who victimized [[spoiler: Agent Morgan]] as a teenager.
* ''Series/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnit'', as a show dealing with sex crimes, has had a sizable number of these over the years as well. A particularly stomach-churning one was a man who would rape his victims based on their menstrual cycles so that they would conceive and bear his children. "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS7E2Design Design]]" is notable for having a female example, raping several men to get sperm from them.
* In ''Series/LawAndOrder'' (and the ''Series/LawAndOrderUK'' episode based on it), the detectives are certain that Olivet/Alesha is not the first victim of the doctor she has filed a complaint against. To that end, they make a point of arresting him in public, in full view of dozens of TV cameras. The gambit pays off -- within days, numerous women who the doctor has assaulted come forward.
* ''Series/Cracked2013'' has an episode featuring a serial rapist who breaks into homes and assaults women while using a nanny cam to record his activities. He eventually makes the mistake of attacking a triathlete and receives the beating of his life when she comes at him with a baseball bat.
* ''Series/LieToMe'' has an episode with a serial rapist who blinded his victims so that they could not identify him after the fact. He had a protege who picks up where he left off, even marrying one of the victims so that he could be closer to his master's work.
* ''Series/{{Justified}}'' certainly implied this to be the case with Hestler Jones and Jimmy Earl Deen, a pair of statutory rapists who appear in Season 1 and Season 2 respectively. It's not until the third season, however, that we get a definite example in Robert Quarles, a Detroit mobster who is also a serial kidnapper, abuser, rapist, and murderer of male prostitutes. This stems from his own hideous childhood, wherein his father pimped him out to male clients; much of what Quarles does comes off as an attempt to process what was done to him.
* The Carver from ''Series/NipTuck'' is a [[MalevolentMaskedMen masked rapist]] who seeks out those who are beautiful, viewing beauty as a 'curse on the world.' The Carver drugs them to paralyze them but leave them conscious and aware before raping them -- [[DepravedBisexual men and women alike]] -- and scarring their faces after.

* ''Series/BlueBloods'':
** "Re-Do" has Dick Reed, a SerialKiller whose M.O. was to tie a woman up to her bed with electrical cords, beat them, torture them, rape them, then finish them off by lighting their bed on fire. He did this to four women, three of whom were killed. He got caught thanks to the adequate description given to the NYPD by Rebecca Watalski, the only surviving victim. He's then released five years later when [[OffOnATechnicality the DNA evidence that convicted him is ruled inadmissible on appeal due to a protocol mistake by an overworked lab tech]]. [[spoiler:At the end of the episode, he tries to do his usual M.O. on Erin, the D.A. who convicted him, but is fatally interrupted by her father Frank.]]
** ArcVillain Thomas Wilder kidnapped, beat up, raped, and killed 22 women that we know of, and threatened to do so to Nicky Reagan but only got as far as the kidnapping part.
* ''Series/{{Banshee}}'':
** A flashback to Lucas's time in prison shows us the Albino, a DepravedHomosexual sadist inmate who likes to rape young NewMeat prisoners. He specifically targets Lucas because he is being paid to do so by the mob boss Lucas betrayed.
** Sanchez is an MMA champion fighter who initially has consensual sex with a waitress but does not stop when she protests his roughness. He ends up beating her bloody and then raping her. Comments by his manager imply that this has happened numerous times before and each time the manager paid off the victims so they keep silent.
* ''Series/{{CSINY}}'':
** D.J. Pratt, who combined this with SerialKiller. He made a game of not leaving enough evidence to get caught, and the surviving victim wouldn't testify. But when he attacked ex-CSI Aiden Burn, [[ItsPersonal it got personal]] and Aiden left enough evidence to nail him.
** The "Crossroads"/"Means to an End" two-parter has John Curtis, who escaped justice the first time around because an employee at the FBI crime lab Jo Danville used to work at screwed up the DNA test. He raped and beat two women that we know of, one of them the daughter of a senator, and the crime lab tech who let him escape was so consumed with guilt that [[spoiler:he tried to frame Curtis for rape number three. Then Curtis tries it on Jo when she finds the second victim, but she shoots him dead.]]
* Several villains on ''Series/TheShield'':
** There's Armadillo Quintero, a serial rapist Mexican drug lord who first raped a teacher at his juvenile school when he was a child. Armadillo rapes women for revenge toward others, including a 12-year-old girl who testified against him.
** An especially vile rapist in season 3 was one who targeted only elderly women as a power trip.
* In ''Series/VeronicaMars'', Mercer Hayes selects college girls with his accomplice, who sets it up for him to drug random girls at the local parties, creating a panic on the campus. He rapes the girls and shaves their heads afterwards just to humiliate them further. His reasoning amounts to "getting into a girl's pants the normal way takes too long".

---> "It's not over for Althea Tibbs. And it's not over for the next woman he rapes. And we both know he's going to rape again."

* ''Series/LasVegas'': In an early episode, there was a guy who went around parties slipping roofies into girls' drinks to rape them. Delinda almost becomes one of the rapist's victims, which means ItsPersonal for her father Ed, who runs the casino. He tracks down the guy together with Danny and drives him out to the desert before forcing him at gunpoint to dig his own grave[[spoiler:, which turns out to be a bluff on Ed's part.]]
* Dennis Reynolds from ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' has "an extensive history of felonious behavior" and multiple bench warrants for "sexual misconduct". As a teenager, he was accused of statutory rape and in college, he would "take the tip of [his] penis and stick it in a guy's mouth for, like, just a second...while he was sleeping." Even his friends refer to his actions as rape on multiple occasions.
* ''Series/TheFive2016'':
** Jakob Marosi's second stage of his ritual turned out to be "pain", i.e. raping children.
** [[spoiler:Jay Newman]] is a serial rapist too, who kidnaps and imprisons his many victims.
* ''{{Series/Unbelievable}}'': The perpetrator of the attack on Marie is found to be one. He not only raped many other women in his home state but there may well be others the police still haven't discovered even when he's convicted, as the encryption on his hard drive can't be cracked, where they suspect he kept far more photos of victims.
* Chuck Bass in ''Series/GossipGirl'' tries to rape two different characters in the pilot episode. As the series goes on, he himself says that this behavior was a common occurrence in his younger years.

* In the first season of ''{{Series/Heroes}}'', quarterback Brody Mitchum attempts to rape Claire, in the process accidentally killing her ([[HealingFactor she gets better once the branch is pulled out of her head]]). After she offers to drive Brody home one night, she confronts him about it. [[NeverMyFault He blames her for letting it happen]], makes it clear he's raped another classmate of theirs and is going to keep at it, then ''gloats'' about how there's nothing she can do about it. Claire then proceeds to ram the car into a brick wall at high speed. Once again, she gets better, while he's left hospitalized. Claire's father, after hearing about his rape attempt, has Brody's mind [[DeathOfPersonality completely erased]].
* ''{{Series/True Blood}}'': Franklin Mott fits this trope to a tee. In season 3, he kidnaps [[spoiler: Tara,]] takes her to a plantation, proceeds to rape her, and later intends to turn her into a vampire against her will (with the implication being that he is going to continue to rape her when she becomes bound to him as her maker). And based on dialogue from the other characters, it's all but stated that isn't the first woman he's raped or ripped to shreds for rejecting him.
* ''Series/BurdenOfTruth'': David is revealed to have committed statutory rape with multiple underage girls, [[ChildByRape fathering a child]] by one.

* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'': Prince Aegon Targaryen is a hormonal RoyalBrat with a habit of groping serving girls and is caught by her mother for sexually abusing one. While we only see him rape one girl, his mother's chastising that he "can't keep carrying on like this" indicates he's a repeated sex offender who uses his position to cover up his crimes.

* Music/{{Eminem}}'s Slim Shady character is a serial rapist, [[BlackComedyRape usually played for laughs]], and occasionally for LightmareFuel. He mostly rapes women, but [[DepravedBisexual also rapes some men]] on ''Relapse''.

* ''LightNovel/FateApocrypha'' provides a rare female-on-male example. [[BondageIsBad Celenike]] [[HateSink Icecolle]] [[TokenEvilTeammate Yggdmillennia]] is stated to have kidnapped and raped young boys/men out of sadism between jobs in her past. The {{Double Standard|RapeFemaleOnMale}} definitely doesn't apply here since she is treated as a despicable person.
