You still can't (technically, ) say he is a rapist if you are trying to be accurate. He has been charged with sexual assault. He has not been convicted.
You could say, "based on the fact he was charged I believe he probably did it" and be technically okay.
In reality what you say probably doesn't matter unless you care to be accurate when you talk. I doubt anyone is suing you. Media companies and high profile reporters are another case.
