To quote Toni Morrison, "Love is never any better than the lover."
We've already seen that Chris is a dick, before any spells were ever cast on him. So love for him means turning the person into an object, a thing to be possessed no matter what. That is what Sarah unwittingly unleashed. When he pursues Sarah, he doesn't pay any attention to her signals, doesn't care when she tries to tell him to back off, and tries to rush her into a ridiculous commitment. This failure to see the other person as, well, a person, means that it's not all that big a leap to move to trying to force the other person into having sex with you.
Oh, and to the original posters ... if you yourself aren't clear that nobody, ever, rapes because they "love too much," then I hope you aren't dating, or have plans to start any time soon.
