Wanting death to rapists is all well and good but I heard from a victim that, because most sexual abuse is committed by people the victims know, punishing them with death disincentivizes people from reporting their abusers. Maybe that can be alleviated by teaching people from a young age to recognize abuse and that rapists must die no matter how you personally feel about them? I don't know, it's a sensitive issue and I'm fearful of letting my hatred for abusers (my own and otherwise) cause me to accidentally hurt victims.

Perhaps the punishment should be set after consultation with the victim. Sexual abuse absolutely must be punished and prevented though.
