The victim should in no way be blamed for the act of being raped, and in many cases, it's really hard to tell what social situations can lead to rape, so there is no fault on the victim's part in those cases. But if before such a social situation begins, someone feels that something weird is going on, that it's uncomfortable, that someone else is making unwanted passes and they're not alone yet... I would say that knowing that and getting into the situation anyway is partially the fault of the person who may later because of it become a rape victim.
