Brown, previously in a consensual relationship with Alston (defendant), left him after he hit her, but he later approached her and, amid threats concerning her mother's interference in their relationship, insisted they have sex; Brown said nothing in response to his demand, verbally told him she didn't want to have sex once at the location, but didn't push him away, and reported the incident to police afterward. Alston was convicted of second-degree rape.
