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

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
