En route to defendant’s apartment, the victim attempted to escape, but defendant grabbed and punched her in the head. The victim testified at trial that she was afraid of defendant and had seen him engage in violent behavior in the past. Upon arriving at defendant’s apartment, defendant grabbed the victim by the shoulders and pushed her down upon the bed. She fought defendant and he told her that, if she kept fighting, he was going to bite and punch her. Defendant fondled the victim and got on top of her.
