Even if others are unaware of the assault, MC is valid in their rage and however they intend on managing that, whether violently or not. I'm sure everything will come out eventually and I think people(the crew) would like to know Rohan sees violence as a tool to further his agenda despite others having autonomy of their own body(IVI being apart of the MC). He did a messed up thing and has to deal with the fallout.
I think its a great story point and makes things engaging. Rohan is kind of a point of contention for readers which makes for a lot of perspectives. I probably wouldn't romance him until last, I'm petty but love to run all possible storylines lol. I guess my hope is that he has more redeeming qualities that will arise to make things make sense when romancing him.
