The Kollel replies:
The same way the Torah allows us to kill him in order to save the woman's life, so too it allows us to kill him on Shabbos if he is raping her. Actually, there is an opinion in the Gemara that says that the reason we kill the Rodef is because we fear that the woman will give up her life. However, even according to the other opinion it is permissible to kill him on Shabbos.
