Just in case anyone was wondering what I meant about SJWs pitying a child rapist, here's a story from years ago where I witnessed such behavior:
To summarize, an 18-year-old man breaks into a house to rape an 11-year-old boy. Fortunately for the boy, his father heard the commotion, rushed his son's room, beat the everliving shit out of the rapist, then called the police.
Various liberal websites felt sorry for the rapist. He was the victim, not the kid he raped! Some liberal sites were even calling for an end to castle doctrine and demanding that self-defense be punished to prevent situations like this. Daily Kos, Democratic Underground, and Alternet, among others, were particularly vocal about it. Anyone who did defend the father was condemned and/or banned from those sites if they were members.
That broke me. How could these people feel sorry for a guy who raped a little boy in his own home? Why did they hate a father for protecting his kid? These were typical left-liberal people too who sincerely saw the rapist as the real victim. Thanks to this story, I began to notice this was a trend on the left. Apparently, child rapists and other similar vile people are one of the "little guys" they feel compelled to defend. I am not nor will I ever be okay with that.
