Molestation of non-Moslem women by Moslems in an Islamic country falls outside of the Islamic Laws and no action needs to be taken against the offending party.
Capital punishment is awarded in retaliation for another life that has been taken illegally.
It is also awarded for the preservation of the Islamic state.

During prophet Mohammed's life time, a Jewish woman poet once wrote a few verses against Mohammed as she was embittered by the prophet's treatment of her people. She was assassinated by a Moslem fanatic, a follower of Mohammed, whereupon, Mohammed publicly praised the assassin in the mosque. However, in spite of the apparent cruelty implied in the punishments, it is often extremely difficult to prove adultery.
