I'm not sure how accurate that is, but it'd be inaccurate to say he's not partly right. War is something that has taken happened all over the globe, and rape is a common feature in war, especially in the past.

Star Wars is a war story. War is literally in the name, and Andor was never supposed to be a kids' show. It focuses on a darker part of the Star Wars universe and contains a lot of adult themes. The character Andor was always never a typical hero, but often qualified more as an anti-hero who did what he had to do to survive and help the rebellion. It didn't always look pretty, and war never does.

It should also be noted that sexual assault isn't exactly absent in Star Wars. Return of the Jedi featured Leia being turned into something of a sexualized pet by Jabba who, in the novels, had a "human fetish." Few people actually complained about it back then because people understood that what was being conveyed was that Jabba was disgusting and evil, and the same can be said of the scene in Andor, which paints the Empire as disgusting and evil. 

But like the scene in Return of the Jedi, there's nothing supremely explicit happening. In fact, what's being called a "rape scene" is actually more a fight scene where nothing actually ends up happening, and the female character ends up winning the fight and killing her would-be assaulter. If the scene had taken on a more Game of Thrones feel, where it explicitly happens, then yeah, I could see where there would be a strong argument. 

But this wasn't that, it was portraying how far an evil person from an evil force would go. He's stopped before it can happen, but the point was to show the audience "these people are willing to go there," in a show that's more for adults than children. From a storytelling perspective, I find that absolutely valid. 

Your mileage may vary, and I imagine there will be quite a few who disagree, but I have no issue with darker portions of a universe being talked about or having stories told within it. Star Wars is a brand that has (or had) mass appeal, and there were a ton of aspects to explore within that universe, but unless it was an aspect being explored that was explicitly made for children, looking at the war from a more gritty, on the ground perspective was always a great option to explore. 

And when you get into that kind of environment, ways of conveying evil, trouble, etc. also open up, and given that the vision put forward by George Lucas kind of sat right in the middle, and even leaned kind of mature in many aspects (the violence, trade wars, philosophical questions), Andor's grittiness is well within bounds, especially in the way some of its darker moments are portrayed. 

That said, I think Andor isn't going to please too many people, because there are real-world allegories to things that are happening right now, and that is, in my opinion, far more egregious. I've often complained that Disney had a bad habit of introducing modernity into Star Wars, making the galaxy far, far away feel too close to home, and it's happening in Andor now.

The show features allegories to illegal immigration, for instance. It features what are the equivalent of ICE agents abusing these illegal immigrants, and to be honest, I think that's what people should be calling Disney out on. 

I find that to be the real abuse of the IP here. Using an IP people once loved globally in order to push personal politics is rather gross, and while I have no issue with conveying a message with stories, when they're this on the nose, it stops being a story and starts being propaganda. 

And sadly, that's kind of what Star Wars is now. Just leftist propaganda. It's sad.
