Pegasus - Rape scene

Did you know that two versions of the rape scene of Sharon of Battlestar Galactica were filmed?
The first one is of course the one we actually saw in which Helo and the Chief get to Sharon before Major Thorne starts raping her.
In the other version, Major Thorne had started to rape Sharon when Helo and the Chief got there.
I guess they decided to go with the softer version. I think that was a wise decision. It still conveyed the same to me without actually having him actually physically abuse Sharon.
