Definitely. In fact the finnish version of Loki was called Piru, and when those swedish christians took over, it was transformed into the finnish word for the christian devil. Definitely a character up to no good, and rape was not out of the question.

Indeed. I was speaking of Eurmal, not a generic Trickster. I think Eurmal has the characteristics of the orlanthi/ernaldan society. I don't think Eurmal is a rapist (though the difference may be slight), but some the psychos invoking his name may well be.
