  1. “Now if you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or about the 9th day of December A.D., 1982, the defendant, Daniel K. Fox, did knowingly or intentionally by force that overcame such earnest resistance as might reasonably have been expected under the circumstances or threats that would prevent resistance by a woman of ordinary resolution under the same or similar circumstances, because of a reasonable fear of harm have sexual intercourse with Donna Bellinger, a female not his wife, without her consent, and the defendant did intentionally or knowingly by acts, words, or deeds place the said Donna Bellinger in fear of serious bodily injury to be imminently inflicted on the said Donna Bellinger, you will find the defendant guilty of aggravated rape as charged in the indictment. [Emphasis added.]”
