Definition
强暴 can mean 'violent, brutal' as a stative verb (adjective), describing actions or people that are savagely forceful. It is also commonly used as a noun or verb meaning 'rape' (a serious crime), though that sense does not match the stative-verb POS label in this entry. As a stative verb, it appears in patterns like 行为∼ or ∼的手段. Be aware that in modern Chinese the rape sense is more frequent in news and legal contexts, while the adjective sense is more formal or literary.
