I don't disagree much with you

this would all be fine if he'd said:
"More serious rape - ie not date rape - gets longer sentences etc etc"

But he didn't, did he. He said:

"Serious rape - ie not date rape - gets longer sentences etc etc"

The implication of what date rape therefore is is pretty clear.

Not saying that's a sackable offence, but it is an unfortunate thing for a justive secretary to say. (Particuarly given the cases over the years of old buffer judges implying that "she asked for it" etc etc.)
