What in the heck did the lowlife do?

There's the violent scene where one of the lowlifes spies one of Sheriff Morgan's uniform shirts in the closet. The psycho then freaks out with flashbacks of being beaten and tortured by law enforcement officers. He then takes out his rage on the defenseless Mrs. Morgan, the sheriff's wife. But in the scene I really can't figure out what the nutcase is doing to Mrs. Morgan, other than I hear her sobbing off screen. To be frank with you all, it looks to me like the psycho is, to put it bluntly, masturbating on the woman. That in itself would be enough to make any woman cry. For those of you who watched the movie, what do you think?

I just saw it for the first time; I thought the same thing (about the guy masturbating).

There is no word in the English language to describe the what the lowlife is doing, m**********g on the hapless woman. But there is a Japanese word for it, called, 'bukkake'.

Yeah I always took that scene to mean that he was jacking off while she sat there screaming and sobbing, which in a strange way unsettled me more than if they'd show him commit rape. It really conveyed how messed up he was, I mean putting aside the act itself his buddy was in the same room too, it was like he couldn't control himself, and was jerking off in a pique of rage.
