A sexual assaulter. Rape is a subset of sexual assault. All rape is sexual assault. Not all sexual assault is rape. You know that.
The Maryland law includes attempted rape as an offense. How they determine that a rape has been attempted if an actual rape hasn't occurred, I don't know. It would seem reasonable to call someone who attempts to rape someone a rapist. Given that the act was incomplete, it's not clear that the term rapist wouldn't apply.
