In such specific situation, EU law is quite clear and right to be forgotten does not apply. Since its in public interest.

It would only apply in case it was later found that rapist was framed and then exonerated. In such case he could claim right to be forgotten, to get all of old false articles removed. Of course people try to abuse this, just like everything else (like using american DMCA to kill videos, articles they don't like)
