Was this a bug or was the player cheating?

The thing is, i just had one of those strange matches, i was chasing a couple of survivors, the gens weren't popping, and then i saw Nea on the hill, when i approached her, i saw Claudette on top of a pile of cars and i thouhgt "nice, another game another cheater", i downed her when she came down, hooked her, and when the survivors unhooked her, se pointed at me to the hill, i came with her, and watched this chain of events (i have all recorded but i don't want to put their names on the screen if is not for a cheating report). Nea left her item on the ground, Claudette moved away, then moved closer, and the direction Claudette's butt was facing, there she was launched. Sometimes it was a couple of meters, sometimes she was launched across the map.

I honestly don't know if this is a weird bug, but i don't think it was cheating, they tried several times and worked like 6 or 7 out of 10.
