Not on screen, and killer never sexually assaults, though it's heavily suggested there's a strong sexual element to the crimes as well as stories of child sexual abuse

Can anyone give a general description of where, when, the extent - is it implied or explicit shown? (Keeping in mind that the people who are wanting the details including myself are squeamish about it but still would like to watch if we can) thanks you!!

No but in s01e02 the dead eyes of a woman are shown for a few seconds.
It bothered me so much I had to turn off the show and do something else to calm my stomach. This happens when the forensic team is examining the scene and they realize her hair was clipped. It then cuts off to the team taking the body out of the house.

a character has a dream in which he falls to his death from a high building but he wakes up right after falling, you don’t see them hit the ground but it might still be upsetting
