There was a line about how Hook had been doing Pan's bidding for hundreds of years. What's the main thing Pan had been doing for hundreds of years? Oh right, kidnapping children because he was looking for Henry. Also, I really think you need to look into what being a pirate (in a historical context) is really all about. It generally includes: murder, rape, theft, touture, and kidnapping, boat-sinking, and more. Yes, we didn't see all these played out, but Hook was a pirate for hundreds of years, and from what we saw in dialog (things like "we'll fly the black flag and give no quarter" and "these rings are all frrom the men I have killed"), it's clear he did more bad things than what we have seen. And before you say something, yes, I'm aware Regina and Rumple also did bad things we haven't seen. Except we saw that that was the Shadow's job and not Hook's. From what we have seen on the show, Hook's jobs for Pan were supply runs. If  Hook was the one kidnapping kids we'd have either seen him do it, seen him admit to it or one of his victims would have called him out. None of this happened. Your "evidence" is completely contradicted by canon and is you applying your own personal headcanon.

The "he was a pirate" excuse is so weak. Other pirates raped people, so he is probably a rapist.

By this logic, David could be a rapist, because a lot of men are rapists. Or a better comparison; Emma is a cop, and a lot of cops are racist, therefore we can assume Emma is racist.

To presume that Hook is a rapist with no evidence (and it actually goes against his character) is dangerous and unfair to victims.

This is a TV show, not real life. We can only go on what we have seen. We have not seen Hook rape someone or kill hundreds of people. And given that he remembers the people he killed down to the last detail, we may safely assume his body count is what we have seen onscreen.

Again, not discounting the bad Hook has done. But you are accuisng him of things he did not do
