Why does one have to assume that? Do you have any evidence that one has to assume that? Do you have any evidence that most exhibitionists are also rapists? In fact, I believe that is not true.
This woman might indeed get a pass on this, primarily because prosecutors have discretion; and a prosecutor would probably rather avoid the controversy. But in general, displaying a gun in a threatening manner will get one into hot water unless he can justify it by demonstrating a reasonable fear of death or grave bodily injury.
