Are rape victims more likely to be raped again?

Here’s an idea, just speculating.

Not all rapes are reported. For various reasons some victims never tell what happened to them. People throw out figures like 80%-90% go unreported (dubious - how would they know?)

A victim who reports a rape is thus more likely to have previously reported a rape. Not because she is more prone to being raped, but because she is less likely to keep silent about it.

Unreported to police; not necessarily unreported to anybody at all collecting such data.
