I don't think Hotch was physically raped. His attack is under investigation so the doctors would've had to report everything to Emily.
The sexual overtones in that scene were very strong and people's minds are racing imo. Which is a testament to the show.
The Reaper psychologically raped Hotch no doubt. His violent behaviour has now evolved into also stabbing male victims - his previous MO was to get the male victims out of the way by shooting them, and then take his time torturing the women by stabbing them.
So this is the first male victim he has stabbed. He also knows that Hotch will see the sexual component of the attack, so it's a total mindfuck. He was saying to Hotch, if your belief about stabbing being a substitution for the act of sex is true, then right now I'm raping you.
