Sufficient force does not mean great or is of such character that is irresistible; as long as it brings about the desired result, all considerations of whether it was more or less irresistible are beside the point.[28] | |||||

The Revised Penal Code punishes statutory rape with reclusion perpetua.[20] The CA thus correctly affirmed the sentence imposed. The amount of PhP 50,000 as civil indemnity and PhP 50,000 as moral damages awarded are in accordance with current jurisprudence.[21] Additionally, we award exemplary damages of PhP 30,000 to serve as a public example to deter molesters of hapless individuals.[22] |
