Sex crimes, and any mental injury (which is really what sex crimes are ... assaults on the mind) is horrible, and I have an idea of what that sort of pain is like because I'm disabled and tormented from a chemical inbalance in my brain that causes me immense stress. Indeed, being traumatized can make you feel "dead".
But is making someone feel dead worse than offing someone? At least if you're mentally injured you have a chance to get better, and your brain isn't DEAD. Saying a sex crime is worse than killing a person is like saying chopping off someone's hand is worse than taking their head.
I do understand why people tend to see sexual crime as worse than violent crime - more people are victims of sexual crimes than murder, and our culture is soooo damn obsessed with sex. And people are generally horrified of crimes against children in general, and pedophilia is so common. I'd say punching a kid in the face is more "disgusting" than offing an adult to most people.
