Only the first sense is adjectival. I think it's clearer to have a separate adj-na sense.

The Kenkyusha 新和英大辞典第5版 has for いたずら:

4 〔不義密通〕 an affair; misconduct; 《文》 a liaison; an amour; 
〔性的暴力〕 sexual assault; rape.
~な 〔淫奔な〕 lecherous; lewd; loose; wanton; immoral.

Eijiro has a couple of strong uses, e.g.
子どもに対する性的いたずら : child molestation
性的にいたずらされる : be sexually molested●be the victim of sexual molestation

The 大辞林 国語辞典 has:
(5) 異性に対し,みだらな行為をはたらくこと。

It really doesn't sound like that light a word. Possibly it's very dependent on context.

  Comments:
Removed the 'rape' definition from this word. いたずら is definitely too light a word for such, and it is dangerously misleading.
