premiere hotch speculation

[ohshiznaps.livejournal.com]

This was discussed briefly on the episode discussion post, but i felt it needed it's own as it could be a HUGE added pain for our beloved leader.

The reaper, Hotch... was there a rape? it was most definitely insinuated, but i felt it was more of a "wait, WHAT?!" moment that passed to quickly to get  a full read on the situation.

im thinking no. if it had, i feel they would have put in more content to support it. all we really saw was a stab that looked below the belt. and the reaper was still fully in pants through the whole thing. 

unless it's something hotch blocked from his memory...

does anyone remember what the reaper said to him? about stabbing being a substitute for sex?

  if this has been discussed or anything already, feel free to mod it up.

It wouldn't surprise me if he was but I'm not sure if it was a full on genital/anal penetration. I get the impression that Hotch might have been penetrated by the knife or Foyet diddled around in his stab wounds in an invasive way. Like when Elle was shot and she said he reached inside her to write in her blood. That sort of invasive rape. In most a lot of states rape is defined as forced vaginal penetration only and anything else i "sexual assault"

Either way the scene was very...sexual. Between Foyet stripping down and his speech about stabbing being a rape substitute, there were define allusions to some sort of rape, either sexual or just invasion of orifices.

EITHER WAY not a good situation for Hotch. I'm surprised he appear to be back on the job so soon in next week's promo.
