But the point is, in that situation, is the man as culpable as someone who hides in an alleyway
and then grabs his victim and rapes them.

I would argue quite clearly not. They may be in the wrong, but they are unlikely to present a long term danger to society, and as Swipey says, it costs a fortune to keep someone in prison.

if the min sentence was high
it would never even get to court (because a jury in that case would probably just acquit) and do even more damage to the rape reporting and convition rate.
