There seems to be a general belief in Western society today that child-rape is "the worst crime one is possible to commit" or "the worst thing one can possibly do" etcetera, but as far as I'm concerned, rape is rape. It is THE WORST commonly occurring thing that can be done to someone, and the victim's age doesn't really make it any more/less bad. Discuss.
By axiomatic rule of at least the western culture. Any crime is worse when done against a kid.
Even stealing candy is a rather low profile crime unless you steal candy from a baby, if that's the case that's a way of saying that you have no boundaries.
I guess the reason is that children are innocent. It is probably also in our instincts to feel more sympathy towards children. Anyway, I agree that pragmatically speaking rape is a terrible crime equally as bad as child rape. But that doesn't change I would probably hate a child rapist more, I cannot help it.

I have never experienced rape nor torture. But I imagine rape is terrible simply for the fact that it is a trauma that will ruin for you something that is not only supposed to be a pleasure but is also part of your biological functions.
