Moses was angry that the soldiers had left all women alive, saying: "... Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
First, what Moses told his soldiers in war times is not the same thing as God telling us how to
live right now. Second, the passage you quoted does not say to rape them. In fact, Israelites were only allowed to marry foreign women if they were captives of war. So this passage is stating that rather than killing everyone, you may spare the young women and take them as your wives if you wish.
Now, rape is specifically mentioned in the old testament (Genesis 34, 2 Samuel 13, Judges 19) and in ALL cases it is addressed in a negative light and carries significant consequences.
All this aside, Jesus in the New Testament further lays out that sexual immorality, even mere sensuality, is wrong.

The old testament teaches slavery and rape and genocide. These are simply literal facts about the book; they are not my opinion.
