We're arguing dictionary definitions now?

> The act of seizing and carrying off by force; abduction.

> The act of pillaging or plundering.

> "the rape of the city by the invaders."

> Abusive or improper treatment; spoiling or abuse.

> "the rape of the land by polluters."

Who knows? Maybe one day there'll be a "rape of the mind" dictionary entry in there.
