Trivia

Daisy White never acted again; some speculate she was a pseudonym for an established actress avoiding exploitation stigma.

Cultural

Released during the Reagan-era 'video nasty' panic, Violated exemplifies the low-budget rape-revenge cycle that Ms. 45 and Angel attempted to elevate artistically.
