It's to portray Russian soldier as people who doesn't even respect 80 year olds. Similar to when someone kills an 80 year old to steal a bag when all they have to do is take it. The killing is completely unnecessary and shows cruelty. And same thing here, the article is designed to show how cruel Russian soldiers are who doesnt even leave 80 year olds alone.
That's my interpretation.
Otherwise yes, of course young women are raped much more then 80 year old wimen. That's why it's considered extra cruel, and that's why they are pointing it out.
