"Sexual Violence" tag clarification

I was wondering when this tag is applicable for a manga.
For example Historie (chapter 6, page 5: https://mangadex.org/chapter/8405/5) has one page of sexual violence, that isn't so far present in the rest of the manga IIRC.
Would the tag be appropriate there or does there need to be more? I like the way people who don't want to see that kind of thing are warned with this tag, I just want to know when exactly it's applicable so I don't waste time reporting stuff it doesn't apply to.

I guess unless Mangadex takes a page from Dynasty's book and allows individual chapters to tagged with chapter-specific content warnings, I'd probably say it's a bit too "one-off" to add a tag to the whole series.

I guess it all depends on what the definition of "Sexual Violence" actually is, which I can't exactly grasp from a casual glance of the search page. (Is it abusive sex, gory fanservice, sexploitation, guro? The results seem all over the place.) The page itself doesn't appear to be particularly violent. It might be worth suggesting that they add "Rape" to the tags in the future (either as a theme or a content tag), as I feel like that's a more specific term for what's triggering about this chapter.

Still worth pointing out, as there are generally worksafe series that deal with Rape as an issue even if it isn't explicity shown on-screen.

Maybe adding a warning section beside the description where you can explain why there are some tags?
