No, but Basta (Age unconfirmed) does things that could be seen as flirtatious towards Meggie (who is 12). Example, smirks, winks. But it's more of an intimidation thing than a pedophilic thing.
It is mentioned that Capricorn's men make examples of the maidservants who step out of line, but I wouldn't consider anything in this book as brutalization
there is mentioning of dead snakes, roosters, and cats, though none are important characters to the story. the rooster is described in some detail, but the others are quite vague
