Possibly true; however, it seems that Rigoletto and Gilda are very close. This being the case, there is nothing to say that she would not have, on her own accord, moved to Mantua. (I am assuming that is the setting of the opera considering that the character is the Duke of Mantua.) At that point, she would have been abroad on the streets, making her susceptible to the duke's lust sooner. So, while what Rigoletto did may have contributed to the particular circumstances in which she was ravaged, there is nothing to say that she would have been saved from any such situation were she not locked up in the house.
