This is very strange logic. You would think someone who is capable of rape would want less police so they would get away with it. Sounds like this guy just made up an excuse to rape someone. You don't just wake up one day and decide that rape is an option.

Unless they feel like their actions are sanctioned by the police, as is probably the case here. Then they can rape without intervention.

  > as is probably the case here That would be pretty ludicrous, if true. You sure you're ready to say that? I mean, even if they were being totally cynical about it, it would be in their interests to find the culprit.

The police intentionally leaked the councilwomen's address online in retribution. Maybe they didn't expect a rape, but I bet the assaulter thought they wouldn't mind.

      Sure but even if they wanted this to happen to her, it would still look good for them if they brought in the culprit.

      Or maybe they did plan a rape, and did the leak to expand the suspect pool.

The police almost never prosecute rape, as a crime. When they do, it is an incredible ordeal for the victim, who is forced to replay the incident multiple times to convince the appropriate authorities it actually happened. If you believe "the police" are a major obstacle to rape, then I encourage you to actually read the accounts of victims and see if that reflects their experience.

  Police don’t prosecute anything. District attorneys conduct prosecutions. Rape prosecutions are often difficult, but I think you’d be hard pressed to find a DA who would not bring charges if they thought they had any chance at a conviction. In military courts prosecution is mandated by law and minimum charges and sentences are set by federal law.
