Well, he was building up an army of psi children to wage war which would result in death on a global scale and shows no concern for his fellow psi children, having many of them killed when he called in the reds to kill Ruby and her friends. His hypocrisy is bad in itself because he makes such a big deal at making the adults "accept" the psi children as not monsters, but with him using them to create an army, he is no better than any normal person. He is also an attempted rape who does view Ruby as solely his possession and tries to kill her when she refuses to become what he wanted. However, with his Freudian excuse, keep in mind that he was experimented on for quite some time, probably at the first beginning of the outbreak of the IAAN. His torturous experience does explain some of his actions, but as for whether it completely absolves him from being PE, I don't know. I would personally say that him turning on and killing other psi children would be reminiscent on other villains like Koba from Dawn of the Planet of the Apes wherein his hatred for humanity was so great, it completely rewrote his mind and any good intentions he may have had were gone the moment he tried to assassinate Caesar.

As for President Gray, he was the one who commissioned for the creation of the internment camps the psi children are sent to; they are torn away from their families, and are made to do manual work and are tortured with white noise if they fall out of line. He also had it in place that children identified as "red" or "orange" would be killed on the spot when they arrive to the camps. He also allowed his son to be experimented on, turning a blind eye to him all so he could continue pushing the notion that the camps work even though that clearly is not true.
