Context is everything.

"I used to say this," he said, "and I haven't said this in a long time. If you dress like that, and you get raped, and I'm on the jury, he's gonna go free."

Though it's a bad way to say it, he may have been trying to tell women to be street smart. Not so much that they're to blame for being raped, but that it'd be wise for them to do what they can to discourage it. And a warning, honey, a jury might not protect you. I know. I used to think like that myself.

At least that's what I hoped he meant to say.

To: Tell It Right

You know how a woman can helped from not being raped? While she’s wearing those hot booty shorts also be wearing a very large pistola strapped around her waist. Also she she have many hours on the gun range.

He blew it when he said he’d let the rapist go free. That goes way beyond warning women to dress modestly.

"...if you dress like that, and you get raped, and I'm on the jury, he's gonna go free.

So, this 'pastor' thinks it's ok for men to rape women because of how the women dress? I don't think that's right in any context - not to mention the inference that men can't control themselves sexually, which substantiates a lot of the 'male toxicity' rhetoric.
