Help with translation of a difficult sentence in a novel.

The novel is James' Patterson's "Kiss the Girls" ("Besa a las Mujeres"). A serial killer comments that a young woman, his soon-to-be-victim, is conceited and untouchable; but that night would be different. Then Patterson writes:

Se la iba a tirar.

Is it "she was going to...tirar? I have no idea how tirar is being used here OR is it something altogether different. PLEASE HELP!!!!

From the dictionary here

enter link description here

tirarse a algn (sexualmente) to screw sb (vulgar); lay sb (muy_familiar)

My guess if it works in context might be that he was going to have sex with her.
