Technically the main character is a child, but it depends which version or media you are using. In the novel, he is about fifteen, but in the movie he is supposedly older, possibly eighteen.

A woman's head is crushed using a large bludgeoning object slammed down on her open mouth. I would assume teeth are damaged in the process. The act itself is not shown on screen.

The main character is strapped down with his eyes forced open and is forced to watch what is on the screen in order to cure him of his violent actions. (Aversion Therapy)
There are a lot of electrodes attached to his head and it overall is a unpleasant scene of torture.

The Droogs pretty much view all women as this. And to a lesser extent is somewhat male gaze-y in itself, to the point some might debate if we're supposed to enjoy these women being brutalized or not. The in-universe one is pretty undeniable though
