Yes but I don’t think that’s what’s happening in the first panel. I could be wrong, but I don’t beleive the rape is ever shown. (of course it wouldn’t be completely shown, but not even someone holding down their hands, or someone opening their robe in front of them. Y’know, the artistic “Bad Shit is happening but we’re not showing it” sort of style)
Looks to me like their legs are bound together. Not a complete preventative for rape, but it would be more difficult. If they intended rape, the captors wouldn’t make it harder for themselves.
In the previous one their Achilles tendon were cut, so they couldn’t run away. Sacrifices often were naked during the ceremonies, so the priests can see properly, where they should use their knives. The sacrifice had to be still alive, when they take out it’s heart, so being able to make precise movements was necessary.
