I didn't read the whole study, the links I found had paywalls.

Sure. But that would still make those things risk factors.
Ultimately I'm not an expert on the risk factors nor would I claim to be. But what I vehemently disagree with is the notion that studying, advertising risk factors and/or even advising people to avoid risks makes one a rape apologist, morally reprehensible, or a bad person. In attempting to shame or censor those people you and others like you are actually making the world more dangerous for potential victims.
Would you not tell children to look both ways before crossing the street?
