How to write the rape attempt?

Hello! One of the first scenes in my current work contains a scene where one of the protagonist is being subjected to an attempted rape. Context — shower room in a desert POW camp, him alone vs three attackers, former Army of Thieves and Whores plus Doom Troops. Why this scene is needed — the first protagonist, who is a subject to rape, got help from the second protagonist, so this scene is doubled as Establishing Character Moment for him. I tried to write it, but first draft looks ABSOLUTELY silly, so I'm asking for help from more experienced writers.

Hey! Tricky, but if you're not comfortable with the 'choreography' descriptions, maybe try small things and subtext. AR-1 makes a kissing noise, AR-2 scopes out Prot-1's wet body and makes a comment while Prot-2 walks in, double-takes, and goes about his/her business until another more graphic comment is made by AR-3 and then whichever AR is most dominant shoves Prot-1 and gropes him. Build the tension through dialogue before the grope and block an aggressive movement that requires intervention. Less can be more effective than full-on graphic.

Good luck, sounds interesting!

[up]Small things and subtext looks interesting, thanks. But I forgot to mention the two important details. First, the Prot-1 is not naked: POW camp located in the desert, on a desert planet, so the Sand Is Water in the shower room. Second, Prot-2 is a subject of Obfuscating Insanity, being actually perfectly sane Double Reverse Quadruple Agent who knows (or being more correct, guessing) something important about Prot-1 and intends to cover him.
