This verbal description is accompanied by a series of relatively graphic photographs of the crime scenes and bodies. S1E2: a man discusses some of his past violent sexual attacks (26:41-27:02). This continues in more general terms until roughly the 29:20-minute mark, including the man's description of his intense contempt for women in general. Brief mention of a violent rape and murder (29:33). Discussion of a sexual assault (groping, assault), accompanied by photographs of a beaten and bruised elderly woman (33:08-33:12).

S1E4: rape mention in passing around the 4:00-minute mark. A man mentions the women who he raped (06:20-06:25).
