When that person is through, they may or may not have remorse. Regardless, that person will never be the same as his or her moral boundaries have been permanently changed. This means the individual is more likely to commit psychotic acts in the future should the triggers be present. Yes, triggers: there may or may not be an actual attack. The outside observer only notices the act of violence and will not normally listen to claims of any cause. The victim essentially becomes indistinguishable from his or her attacker.
