Well in Greece both men and woman were subjected to sexual abuse. Some women were taken into concubine's. also some of the women were taken as wives and as slave subject to the whims of their masters. Men were also subject to their masters whims. But the men also had the chance to be inducted as warriors in the Greek Armies. Depending on their skills. But eventually both men and women captured in battle were absorbed into the Greek Culture and made citizens after a period of time.

Because female slaves were literally owned by their employers, how well slaves were treated depended upon their status in the household and the temperament of their owners. As a result of her vulnerable position within the household, a female slave was often subjected to sexual exploitation and physical abuse. Any children born of master-servant liaisons were disposed of because female slaves were prohibited from rearing children.

As Xenophon's Oceonomicus reveals, slaves were even prohibited from marrying, as marriage was deemed the social privilege of the elite citizens of Athens.

I'm sure there are pervs in all periods of history as well in different countries. This is probably not unlikely. This was not a common or condoned practise as far as I have learned from my Greek Classics class.
