Read Theodicy by G.W. Leibniz for better understanding. I will try to illustrate:
There is a ball moving by you. You can change the direction of its movement to a direction you want.
There are evil creatures making evil. God can direct it to a direction He wants. He is not responsible for the evil, but He works everything according to His will.

Yes there are consequences for sin and consequences if we do not believe in Jesus for salvation. What happens if the rapist repents and puts his trust in Jesus his sin's are forgiven but he will have eternal life. God would also be glorified through him coming to faith.
God is also glorified through an awful situation if the victim forgives the rapist.

The reprobate will burn forever, because they will never be able to pay the penalty for their sins as they will continue to sin while they're in hell. So it's a perpetual punishment bought on by the sinner continuing to blaspheme the Name of God while he burns, so his time keeps extending.
The reprobate will sin without restraint in hell, when God removes His restraining influence which the sinner had during their life. His sin will be unrestrained and the punishment will be poured out in full measure without any restraint.
It will be truly horrific, it will be far beyond anything we can imagine. God doesn't do things by halves, He deals in big measures. His love is beyond measure and so is His righteous indignation towards wickedness

Wow, i don’t even know what to say, god loved that rapist just as much as he did the woman, he would take greater glory if that rapist repented and was born again,
He takes no glory for ne person going to hell, what he would have is great sorrow, just as he did when he had to turn his back on Israel and let them suffer at the hands of rome.
