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!!
