I agree with you, if Melinda hadn't spoken up, he'd have probably raped Rachel, at least when he put his mouth over hers when she was yelling at him because he was talking to Melinda, I could see that he liked to overpower her, just like he did with Melinda.
I've read some stuff about rape, and it's rarely about sex, it doesn't matter if the guy can get it willingly, he wants to exert his dominance over his victim, and this guy didn't even seem to feel the tiniest bit of remorse for what he had done. So it was quite possible he would just go on to do the same thing over and over and over again.
The thing I hated was that Melinda didn't say anything in the beginning, I know it's practically the whole plot of the movie,and the book, but I think it's very important that people know that with these kinds of things, it's better to speak up when it just happened, get to a hospital ASAP, get a rape kit and get the animal, no that's actually insulting animals, the MOSTER that did it! It's very hard to get a conviction if time has passed, there's no real physical evidence that it happened.
I personally did NOT feel an ounce of sympathy for this man, I think he got off easy, I was partly expecting Nicole to slap him across the face with the hockey stick handle! Just so he could stop whining.

That was longer than a heartbeat!
