I saw that interview! It was the only one I've seen where anyone associated with the show even used the word rape, on or off camera, and it appeared Joss didn't think it was. But the most honest thing he said in that interview was that he didn't even know what he was doing with Dollhouse anymore, it had been so altered and changed around - and that, I completely believe.
In Echoes it was established that they are blocking the memories, so that they're still in the dolls' heads, and that's why they can pop out occasionally.
