| The force used in the commission of rape need not be overpowering or absolutely irresistible.[35] What is essential is simply that the force employed was sufficient to enable the offender to consummate the lewd purpose which the offender had in mind. In this case, there is no question that accused-appellant succeeded in his brutish objective. The threat made on the life of AAA and her sister BBB, coupled with accused-appellant's strength, was more than enough to facilitate his bestial intentions. | |||||
