Julia Torres filed the action for the crime of rape, through
force and intimidation against Ronald Galang.1
talk to Julia but she ignored him. She stayed away from him
because she disliked him.
At around 11 p.m., Julia left the wedding reception alone.
She did not bother to walk home alone because she knew
everyone in the barrio. She took a short cut across Mario
Perez farm. At about 50 meters from Marios house, Ronald
came from behind and offered to walk her home. She declined
and walked faster ahead of him.
Ronald doubled his stride and caught up with Julia. He
then grabbed her arm and wrestled her on the ground. He also
covered her mouth with a hand so she could not shout. She
resisted but Ronald pointed a knife at her side and threatened
to stab her should she resist more. Out of fear, Julia gave in
and Ronald ravished her.
After the incident, Julia kept the matter to herself. She
was afraid of the trouble that may arise if her parents and
brothers knew about it. After two days, she was able to muster
the courage to tell her aunt, who in turn told her parents. She
went to the police to complain and submitted herself to a
medical examination.2
Dr. Amado Ampil, a medical examiner for the Province of
Batangas, examined Julia and found that she suffered from
laceration of the cervix posterior portion and laceration of the
vaginal canal posterior portion. The wounds were about two
days old.3
On the other hand, Ronald testified that they, Julia and
him, were lovers. While at the wedding reception, Julia became
furious with him because their friends were teasing him of his
other women and this made her jealous. This prompted Julia
to leave the reception and Ronald followed to woo her. They
