If I remember previous fracas on this subject, Japanese doesn't actually have the word "rape" as English does, where it comes loaded with connotations about lack of consent. The closest Japanese equivalent just means something like "One-side-is-dominant-sex", with no implications as to whether it's forced or not. So that's why it actually makes sense in Japanese for a character to say "~Please rape me senpai~". It wouldn't make sense in English because if you ask for it it's not rape any more, but in Japanese it doesn't mean "Fuck me hard when I don't want it", it just means "Fuck me hard!".

So to answer your question, no, MGE never uses the word rape. It uses a word for which the closest English equivalent is "rape", but there are subtle differences allow for lots of weasel-y reinterpretation.
