This is true but when someone has been raped, the fact that someone engaged in a risky behavior is not the major issue, the major issue is that someone has been raped and the rapist needs to be locked away because they're dangerous.
The first place people go is to try to find a way to blame the victim. Invariably.
This is a very large reason rape is one of the most under-reported crimes.
