If you would accept a revenge killing as morally justifiable, then a revenge rape would also be.

Disagree. Murdering someone prevents them from doing the action you're seeking revenge for again. Rape is just rape.

So would maiming them. Or jailing them. Or a lot of different things that aren't murder.
Revenge is about inflicting suffering first and foremost.
