Rape is a state crime. Kidnapping is usually a state crime unless people were transported over state lines -- but even then it would be state and federal, erase the federal charges and the state charges still apply.
While it doesn't apply to this case, there are caveats.
State crimes can be Federal crimes depending on the victim(s) or the suspect(s) that committed the crimes, and also depending on where the crimes took place.
Examples - if Noem or Bondi (for example) were raped the feds could take the case as they are both cabinet members. If a crime was committed in the Capitol Building, or on other Federal property the feds could take that case as well. On more non-example - a real case - is the attempted assassination of Justice Kavanaugh. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brett_Kavanaugh_assassination_plot
