One reason people blame a victim is to distance themselves from an unpleasant occurrence and thereby confirm their own invulnerability to the risk.

This is not so much about victim blaming - which is not that much of an issue in the modern society, IMHO - but rather about the notion of the rape culture which creates a whole false picture of sexual violence and in fact gets in the way of addressing real episodes of sexual violence and abuse.
