Nothing shown or dwelled upon too much, but there's a brief moment where an unnamed character confesses to killing his pet cat.

McMurphy states that he was charged with statutory rape of a 15-year-old. Near the beginning, Bromden states that one of the hospital workers' mother was raped. There are implications that the hospital workers rape the ward members in the showers.

(Spoiler) McMurphy attacks Ratched by strangling her in the climax of the story; she survives, but is left seriously injured. Later, Chief sees that McMurphy has been lobotomized and left with severe brain damage, and uses a pillow to suffocate him to end his suffering.

Implied that Billy does, judging by the mentioning of cigar burns and razor blade marks on his hands/arms.
