Is it normal for sexual assault victims or rape victims to no longer be attracted to men in their age group(cuz a guy raped her that was her age), but find her attracted to men 10-25yrs older than her?

It may be. A person who has had that experience may have an aversion to men similar to the one who performed the act, but if she had a good relationship with her father, she has developed a pattern of being able to interact with men a similar age and may feel protected by them. Under the usual circumstances, a female is likely to seek a relationship similar to the relationship she had with her father if that relationship was a good one, even with men her own age, but in cases of sexual assault, attraction to men her own age would be disrupted.

It can happen, but so can a lot of things. Sounds within the normal range to me. But then, I'm not a professional, just from people I know.

That is not an uncommon reaction.
