Definitely a plot device, but one I think suitable as far as setting up the premise is concerned.
The point, which I agree with Jarmel, is not the presence of rape per se but what they plan to do to the rape victim after she becomes "influenced" and the twisted logic of enforcing "justice" based solely on that.
It's certainly easier to get the message across with a traumatised rape victim whose ordeal makes her more psychologically vulnerable than it is with victims of other crimes, I suppose.
