Actually I on the moral scale I would put murder as less bad than rape of an adult and that as less bad as rape/molestation of a child.
It comes down to what you're taking from the person. If you murder flat out, then at least the person is just dead. Rape is tortue and leaving the person alive is often like turnign the person into living dead. Hurting children is the worst simply because kids are often though of as pure.
Obviously all are bad, but I do think there are degrees of evil.
