But they'd better keep quiet.
Qualifying as rape is different than dealing with rape. While one can have an opinion that what happened was rape, it's not really accurate to say that the story deals with issues of rape as a story element. It's been a while since I've seen the episode, though, so I can't be 100% sure if the "against my will/I was violated" ever came up in dialog.
I recall Deanna appearing quiet and troubled in the conference room scene, would have to review the dvd to say more.
Looking at a transcript, the closest reference I'm seeing is the Observation Lounge scene where they're discussing the pregnancy and what to do about it.
If there's any allusion to rape, it must be after Ian makes his entrance, I didn't look past where Picard meets him.
Later in the scene, she announces she's going to have the baby.

I'll admit I don't really remember that episode. What occurs that merits even a TV-14? Most Trek is pretty solidly in the TV-PG realm.
I've found that for Trek episodes (and probably for more and more shows, that is), the line between TV-14 and TV-PG gets reevaluated when it's rerun or released in a different format (so that episode was TV-14 on broadcast, and then TV-PG on iTunes).
Memory Alpha says that the episode was originally TV-14 because it dealt with drugs and prostitution, and that seems about on par with a lot of Law & Order episodes that deal with those situations, too. But yes, most of Trek is very much in the TV-PG realm, which makes that particular episode unique in its own right. I'm hard-pressed to think of Trek episodes that would reach TV-14; perhaps a few DS9 wartime episodes, but the rating system, unless it's blatantly obvious MA material like The Walking Dead or Game of Thrones, is often arbitrary.
On the other hand, Ilia was in the only "G" rated Star Trek movie.

As are a number of women who have an unwanted or unexpected pregnancy after consensual sex.
Like I said, I can see the point of view where opinion is that Troi was raped. However, the story isn't "about" rape.
Forgive me if I don't blindly click on un-named links from a work computer. Or from my home computer come to that...
I have all of TNG, DS9, VOY and Ent on VHS, and all of TNG & DS9 on DVD. In the context of the DVDs, all of the episodes within a series conform to one "umbrella" age rating.
However the VHS versions, which are at least a decade older, give one rating to two episodes per VHS.
I am not going through them all as there are literally hundreds and I would spend all day writing this post. Consequently I shall use DS9 Season One to demonstrate.
(UK = U [Universal] > PG [Parental Guidance] > 12 > 15 > 18)
Volume 1 - Emissary - PG
Volume 2 - Past Prologue & Man Alone - PG
Volume 3 - Babel & Captive Pursuit - U
Volume 4 - Q-less & Dax - U
Volume 5 - The Passenger & Move Along Home - PG
Volume 6 - The Nagus & Vortex - U
Volume 7 - Battle lines & The Storyteller - PG
Volume 8 - Progress & If Wishes Were Horses - PG
Volume 9 - The Forsaken & Dramatis Personae - PG
Volume 10 - Duet & In The Hands of the Prophets - PG
Henceforth, with the exception of the latter volumes, the episodes do not appear to conform to any pattern or system.
On the subject of Enterprise, VHS 1.5, 1.6 & 1.7 have a rating of U, whilst the rest of season one have a PG rating. Thus 1.9 (Fusion & Rogue Planet) received a PG.
With regard to TNG "The Child", VHS Volume 14 received an age rating of PG.
On the subject of the movies, while The Motion Picture is the only one rated U, First Contact is the only one rated 12 with the following breakdown of criteria on the back:
> Language - Infrequent, Mild
> Sex/ Nudity - None
> Violence - Some, Moderate, Fantastic.
The last descriptor was not wrong, but I do not see how it relates to age censorship!
Yeah, there's nothing unnamed about the URL, because the full URL is right there for you to see. If you don't trust URLs in my post, why would you trust information in it either? I've given you the URL, which you can validate as an authoritative link to the information yourself. Or not....
I kind of know what you mean, the actual 12 certificate was introduced one year before I was born for cinema releases (but four years after for video releases
), however the 12A was introduced when I was twelve. The need for that rating is still beyond my comprehension to this day! 
Also, TWoK is a 15 on VHS, I was being lazy not wanting to pull all of the VHS out of the cupboard........and thought I knew all of the movie ratings without having to check!! (At least now I shall remember that one forevermore!!!)
Yep. They also released a "PG" version as well, which was edited.
"Batman" in 1989 was also released as as a '15' on video, because '12' hadn't moved across to VHS-land yet.
