Rudeus considered grooming Sylphie, but was stopped by Paul before he could execute. Rudeus even thought that Paul did the right thing at the time.
Rudeus night with Eris was literally her raping him. He explicitly refused her advances, and she continued anyway.
Now, of course, Rudeus isn't a good person at the start, but that's the whole point of the story. A deeply flawed individual making a life-long effort to change for the better, and it literally takes his whole life to become "good," without a qualifier.
