It could be the case, but in my opinion, victims of sexual abuse focus mostly on the one who did the abusing, with some extra sensitivity against abusers.
Those who hate sex offenders the most could be in fact experiencing feelings that might lead to being sex offenders themselves. See the article about Reaction Formation, link above.

The people who hate sex offenders are people with a strong sense of right and wrong. Next to killing some one this is one of the worst things you can do to another person. I have never been a victim but I'm the last person you would wont to get a hold of you if you where guilty of a crime like this.

I don't hate the person, but the offense. It is just something that takes a really immoral person, someone who is twisted and can not be helped. They are sick and need to be put out of their misery.
They rob a child of something that can never be replaced.
No, I have never been molested, I have a child now 14 and if a sex offender had ever come near her, I doubt I would have been able to wait on legal justice. She is a Martial Artist and holds 2 belts one is a Black Belt. I have done my best to prepare her for people who prey on children.
People who are sexually depraved.

Maybe they are mostly victims, but I hate sex offenders too, and I have never been sexually offended.

Of course not. You don't need to be a victim to consider a sex offense the most despicable crime.

Agree with the rest.
I've never been sexually abused and i still hate sexual offenders the most. Its a crime that shouldnt happen at all.
Plus, if you've been sexually abused before then you should be able to understand how terrible it feels. That should have stopped you from doing it to other people.
Just an opinion.

You need to understand that they are acting out from what has been done to them. Don't get me wrong, they certainly have the ability to seek out help. I feel habitual sex offenders need to be castrated if drugs and behavior modification don't work.
