Due to a generic sounds resembling a possible fabric rip during the offscreen altercation and change in expression of the spectator, it's uncertain whether sexual assault is implied in the final seconds of the scene.

In the altercation, one person is seen having an object stabbed through their hand pinning it in place (not a closeup), and another has his head repeatedly beaten with an animal bone which splatters blood on the walls. No concave nor biological matter is shown beyond blood splatter. The carnage remains in the background of this setting.
