Anthony Beevor talks about exactly this in his book "Berlin". He does discuss the acts, female soldiers reactions and those of officers.
I believe the prevailing view in the Red Army was that the Germans fully deserved everything coming to them personally and their country for what had happened to the occupied USSR territories. I'm not endorsing that, or criticising that view by the way.

Ferenc Nagy (The Struggle Behind the Iron Curtain, 1948 translation) claims that this occurred in Hungary (so not quite Eastern Germany, though Hungary was occupied by Germany from 1944 until "liberation" by the USSR):
The barbarism of the Soviet occupying forces can best be judged by the fact that many thousands of Hungarian men were raped or forced to unnatural excesses by Russian women soldiers. The Reds established a recreation camp near Kecskemét for more than thirty thousand sick and convalescent women members of the Soviet army and the police forces. From this camp, for instance, the Russian women banded together at night and swooped down on the surrounding hamlets, kidnapping the men and sometimes holding them captive for days. Often these abductions led to the peculiar girls hiding, not themselves, but their men in the forests and in haystacks to keep them from the disease-ridden Soviet women troops. The facts were first reported to the Swiss legation in Budapest; the results of its investigation were published by the Swiss Foreign Office in May, 1945, as a warning to the world.
