Um, all of that is far afield from my comment, which was simple. A person who has raped a child is worse for having done so, based on my moral intuitions, than a person who has killed another person.
Although Andaro is being unnecessarily gruff, people on the internet do regularly treat "statutory rape" as the same thing as "rape" so it's best to clarify what you mean. Also, even beyond that, the line between "rape" and "not rape" differs between individuals, so it's fair to ask what you consider to be the least-bad nonconsensual interaction that is still worse than murder.
I think that pedophiles who have raped children are worse than murderers
