I think "a poisonous wound" refering to rape is a bit far-fetched. Of course "Tolkien was a gentleman", as it's said here many times, but still... And that raping mentioned in Lays of Beleriand refers to stealing and raiding only, I think.
And also I can't think about orcs as very sexual creatures really...
I would clearly say Celebrian wasn't raped, if I hadn't read the post #16 by Fordim Hedgethistle. It really made me think about this.
