Yup, just like murder is generally a capital offense, but theft isn't. Why is that? Could it be because money can be replaced, and is, after all, just a thing, while life and a child's innocence are far harder to fix? If somebody offered you fifty million dollars in compensation in exchange for your allowing them to assrape your child, would you do it?
I think if you had a little bit more contact with people who had been sexually abused as a child, or if you actually had a child of your own, you might have a slightly different perspective.
Child molesters who actually make it into the criminal justice system alive are far luckier than they deserve to be. If they die horrible deaths in prison, so be it. They chose the tune, so they must pay the piper.
