PEOPLE vs Edward Ollamina.

PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES, plaintiff-appellee, vs. EDWARD OLLAMINA, accused-appellant.

G.R. No. 133185 | 2002-02-06

RAPE

Facts:

- The accused-appellant invited the private complainant to a birthday party but it learned out that there was no party. Instead, the victim was led to an empty house where she was undressed and raped by the accused.

- Accused-appellant claimed that he and the private complainant were lovers. He added that the complainant begged him to elope with her, thus he agreed. They went to a house in Davao City and went home just the same.

Issue:

Whether the trial court erred in giving credence to the testimony of the complainant that she was threatened by the accused on the occasion of the rape.
