I think it's safe to say nearly all villains/ex-villians have showed some degree of preditory behavior. For example....

Regina towards Graham.

Zelena towards Robin.

Rumple towards Belle.

Killian towards Emma.

Clearly it's in the villians handbook, which is fine. What's not is the show's handling of it. Every one of the above has been swept under the rug, with the exception of Zelena/Robin, and even that's getting to the point it's about to be. You can't tell me that a single positive memory of her, Regina is just so willing to act as though Zelena didn't rape her boyfriend. Robin's reaction was perfect. "Have you gone mad?" No, Robin, she has merely been the victim of the writers unwillingness to deal with the consquences of the things they have previously created.
