When they were at the accused’s place they got inside the house. While inside the house they started kissing at the same time the accused pushed the complainant into his bedroom.

Then the complainant stopped kissing and informed the accused that she wanted to reach home before curfew time.

When the complainant was about to leave the bedroom, the accused grabbed the complainant by her trousers, pulled it down to thigh level and he pushed her on the bed and fell down facing upwards.

The accused person forced himself on top of the complainant. He pulled her pant to the level just below his buttocks.

The accused person inserted his erect …. into the complainant’s …. and had sexual intercourse with her without her consent and without protection.

After the act, the complainant ran away from the scene and went home.
