Ancient thread, but interesting topic.
I wouldn't think of River as a rape victim. She's a lobotomy victim, no sexuality seems implied at all anywhere.
But you can find sexuality there, in a place people seem even less comfortable discussing. "I'm in the family way"? She adores her older brother, and he's the steady rock of her life. She'll grow out of it when she's better and less child-like, but that's what I see there.
The idea may be squicky, but remember that emotionally she's (been reduced to) something like a child.
Call me when anyone int'resting shows up.
