Is the death penalty justified in instances of child rape?

Background and context

There are 58 countries who have used a death penalty in at least the last 10 years and still have it as one of their punishments. 16 of those countries use it for crimes of rape, rape of children, and rape under aggravating circumstances while other countries have been under pressure to impose it, because of the high rates of crime.

In countries around the world, there are thousands to tens of thousands of children being raped every year.

It should be noted that out of the 3000+ people on death row in the United States, only one has not committed homicide.
