This article aims to analyze the representation and repercussion of rape in the Brazilian miniseries Justiça (2016), produced and aired by Rede Globo and written by Manuela Dias. The article discusses the role that representation plays in the construction of the collective imagination concerning this crime, addressing the notion of rape culture, the way this crime is represented in the media, as well as the myths perpetuated by the approaches made. This research then presents three moments of analysis: 1) analysis of the representation of rape in the series; 2) analysis of the repercussion of such representation; 3) analyzes the presence or absence of the so-called myths of the culture of rape in the plot of Justiça.
