As far as sadism, I think there is a difference in our everyday use of the word and the meaning of it as a distinct disorder. We might say that someone who is mean or hurtful to someone else and laughs about it is sadistic, but in terms of the disorder,, the person would be getting a sexual arousal from eliciting anguished cries of pain from another.
What I see in Heinrich is a more or less socially inept, frustrated and angry, continuously fantasizing, pedophile who didn't have the social skills to groom a victim. He was even having a hard time grabbing one. He tried different tactics in a clumsy way over time to get a boy to have sex with. He escalated the force in order to get one. But, it looks to me like Heinrich was super paranoid about getting caught. Something may have happened in his interactions with Jacob that made him feel he had no choice or he decided from the beginning that is what it was going to take to fulfill his fantasies and not get caught.
