You're mostly correct about slavery, but rapists got stoned to death. Deuteronomy 22.

AFAIK they had to pay 50 shekels and marry the woman they raped right?

Yeah, I suppose I shouldn't have left out that detail. Raping an unbetrothed virgin doesn't get the same treatment as raping another man's wife. I'd still say paying a fine and never being able to divorce counts as "discouraging" rape, but... damn.
