I was reminded although it is a quite different story of a man who is stuck in a well in modern times and the children he appeals to kind of kill him via neglect despite having conversed with them. | |

No sexual assault. No giving birth. No twins. In general there's a lot of violence but very little sex in Grimm. | |

(Yes; that's the original cause.) | |
