An excerpt from a Civil War era newspaper article: ". . . assaulted him in a most brutal manner, and insulted his wife and daughter."

In this case, would "insulted" mean "raped?" Or did the assailants simply tell the wife and daughter that they were ugly and needed to lose a few pounds? I've seen the word "outraged" used in a similar manner. Was that a euphemisim for "raped?" Or were "outrage" and "insult" simply catchall terms meaning treated them poorly, slapped them around, stripped them and made them run through town, or whatever?
