The word "rape" might not been used, by from context you can extrapolate that it was 1). a violation, it was seen as 2.) outrageous, and it was also 3.) "not done in Israel" -- meaning it was not legal.

Samuel is the same book of the Bible where David rapes Bathsheba and has her husband murdered so he can take her as one of his wives. Following your logic, that means that is completely morally sound since he did so unopposed.
