The Duchess is a 2008 historical drama film directed by Saul Dibb, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jeffrey Hatcher and Anders Thomas Jensen, based on the 1998 book Georgiana, Duchess of Devonshire by Amanda Foreman, about the late 18th-century English aristocrat Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire.
Georgiana Cavendish, Duchess of Devonshire (née Spencer; / dʒ ɔːr ˈ dʒ eɪ n ə / jor-JAY-nə; 7 June 1757 – 30 March 1806), was an English aristocrat, socialite, prodigious and addicted gambler, political organiser, author, and activist.

I find no reference to a rape in Foreman's book; this seems like a spicy detail taken from the movie rather than an actual fact, and I think it should be removed.
