Rape is an act of violence, not lust. In Canada it is called sexual assault, since it more accurately describes what happens.
The kid is obviously very screwed up, but it sounds more like an act of rage and violence more than a sex act.
And DH is right about the insanity bit. Lots of perfectly sane people do horrific things in all kinds of situations. War, for example, or big business that recognizes no legal boundaries to its behavior and whose actions affect millions of people's lives.
