(None of those cause permanent physical damage. The listed characters are dead, crippled, or brain-damaged. The victims of abduction/mind-wiping have...two little scars on their necks.)
(To look at it another way, the people I listed in the first paragraph (men and women alike) were killed or disabled in order to give motive to the main characters. The things you list are done to the main characters themselves.)

*and then I realized that my initial point is still valid*

*Objection!*

*Oopsidaisy, "you who are dressed in a nightgown"*

O.o
